At Salo, our mission is “Connect and empower to make a difference.” Making connections is our business. So, we use our superconnector skills to connect people—and connect-the-dots between organizations—to empower others. We’re not perfect. We’re still learning. But, we’re determined to make a lasting difference in the world. Our team is passionate about many areas of social impact—from diversity and women in the workplace to mentoring emerging professionals and sustainability. Each year, we select a few social initiatives to focus on. We choose timely issues that are important to our community and can benefit from our company’s skillset. This year we’re focusing on racial equality and addressing socio-economic barriers that hinder workplace equity and opportunities. It takes inclusive workplaces and diverse teams to achieve the business outcomes that matter most. We’re empowering positive change by: Committing to engaging, recruiting, and retaining people who represent difference of all kinds—such as race, gender, work style, and diversity of thought. Addressing the barriers that have hindered traditionally underrepresented people from growth, retention, and promotion within the workplace. Actively implementing measurable goals and strategies to support a diverse team.
