5yThank you for sharing your thoughts. Although this is a difficult review to read, it is very valuable to hear your perspective. We recently posted our diversity metrics on our public website, and while our metrics might be more or less in line with tech companies, you are correct. There is room for improvement in overall stats and at the leadership level for sure. While we do have a diverse Board, there are no Black or Native American Board Directors at this time. (I am hopeful that we will see change here.) We have 3 people devoted to Diversity and Inclusion efforts (a new colleague just joined to run our Talent Pipeline efforts) and have an opening on the our Director on our Talent Development team. (Got a referral?) I myself would give this team more credit than you have as I have seen them move the needle over the past six years -- pushing for sharing our metrics publicly, driving membership in ERGs, increasing budgets, having tough conversations with executives with less diverse teams and raising awareness of issues as the ones you raise about mentorship and career paths and addressing systemic change. However, I still agree with you. As Dan shared on our last All Hands meeting, we have work to do here. No doubt about it. Let’s begin.
