- We have removed unnecessary barriers to entry such as college degrees when possible.
- DEI questions are now incorporated into exit interviews to learn from and improve upon other’s experience.
EDUCATION
- Continually developing our education program, a weekly series that explores race, LGBTQ+, gender and wellness.
- Quarterly guest speaker series deliver engaging sessions on important topics such as unconscious bias, microaggressions, pronouns, mental health, and wellness.
EMPLOYEE RESOURCE GROUPS (ERGs)
- With the purpose of connecting people from different backgrounds, our ERGs provide programming and resources to amplify diverse voices, share stories, learn from one another and take action towards a more balance future.
- A platform that provides a safe space for employees to discuss current events, and issues, providing a path to addressing them such as pay equity and the use of pronouns in e-signatures.
