How does this company ensure that employees of color are happy?

“We have a Human Development Director that works with employees to ensure the company is more inclusive and that individuals have a strong sense of belonging and pride in themselves and their work. Not a lot of politics or hierarchy here that would put a barrier between employees and leadership. In the past, some of our employees have attended Diversity & Inclusion workshops, AdColor conference, and internal workshops such as "privilege primer" and "managing inclusion." We also do a lot of community outreach, showing films like CODE: Debugging the Gender Gap, working with Women Who Code, iUrbanTeen, etc. We still have a long ways to go.”

What next steps are being taken by this company to make it more diverse and inclusive?

“We are part of the Tech Diversity Pledge by the Portland Development Commission. Audits, workshops, and programs are implemented. Our Director of Human Development has created a 7 week workshop to help with professional and personal development.”
