 our workforce working either in-person on a part-time basis, or remotely on a permanent basis. During 2024, we continued to offer this hybrid work schedule to our workforce. Our top priority remains providing support for our employees, partners, and customers.

Community Engagement. We value the communities that support our operations and have several company and employee-led initiatives to support the communities in which we operate. In 2024, our efforts were centered on advancing education, technology, local communities, and environmental initiatives. For example, we provided scholarships for women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), partnered with nonprofit organizations to provide back-to-school backpacks to underserved youth in our community, and donated to food drives and holiday fundraisers to support local families in need, among other initiatives. Our employees participated in environmental initiatives such as World Environment Day that encourage awareness and action for the protection of the environment, in addition to taking part in local clean-up activities across the world.

Training and Development

Employee Training. We require our employees and managers to participate in myriad training programs directed at maintaining a harassment-free, diverse, and secure workplace. With our diverse employee population, we uphold the rights to work in an environment that promotes equal opportunity and prohibits discriminatory practices against race, color, national origin, ancestry, medical condition, religious creed (including religious dress and grooming practices), marital status, registered domestic partner status, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, genetic characteristics and information, age, veteran status, or any other protected characteristic. Creating a respectful workplace and preventing harassment to our employees remain our on-going commitment. 

Employee Development. Investing in employees is critical to our success. Qualys employees participate in an onboarding program to integrate new hires into role-specific functions and company culture. Qualys offers managers and employees various training courses as needed. To support career growth inside and outside Qualys, we offer free self-paced and instructor-led certified training on core Qualys topics, giving employees and non-employees an opportunity to achieve certifications and job-related courses free of charge. 

To allow for open dialogue between employees and managers, we conduct formal employee reviews each year. Corrective action plans are developed for employees who may be struggling to meet his or her job responsibilities. Employee performance is considered during compensation reviews. In addition to formal reviews, our Human Resources team regularly meets with managers to check in with teams and conducts exit interviews globally.
