The greatest impact we’ve made over the course of a year is creating spaces for our people to share their experiences and cultures, and to grow personally and professionally. I’ve heard from many people around the company that the work our communities do makes a difference in their comfort and confidence levels, as well as overall feelings of being seen, heard, celebrated, and respected. Celebrating different cultures, holidays, and people has brought a sense of pride for me as a DEIB leader. I am proud to uplift people who raised their hand to include their cultures in our spotlights, especially when no other company they’ve worked for has recognized them before. For example, April is Arab-American Heritage Month, and we are recognizing our Arab employees internally and on our social media. This brings so much joy to our people. The Belong communities are a trusted space for members and allies to get to know each other, discuss things like what to write in our performance reviews, and encourage each other to have difficult conversations. The connection and communication shared in the community meetings, events, and slack channels make a largely remote workforce feel like we are included in the company culture and not siloed away from everyone else. The community employee spotlights are a highlight, creating visibility beyond traditional diversity topics and concentrating on celebration, education, and openness to feedback to fuel our dedication to belonging. We want to bring awareness, acceptance, inclusion, and support to our people. Transparency is another key priority. Setting expectations and following through on commitments builds trust, and trust creates a workplace with respect, reassurance, and accountability.
