-Desmond Tutu
We have a fierce commitment to at CareerPlug. It's what shapes our culture and community, and shows up in a resolve to be inclusive, and therefore, anti-racist .
We know that racism can be intentional or unintentional, but its existence is dehumanizing to everyone it touches. Our promise is to purposefully identify, discuss, and challenge issues of systemic racism and unconscious bias and the impacts they have on our company and our people. We've always fostered a culture of communicating openly, but we know we can continue to do better. We will challenge ourselves to understand and correct inequities and create a "best place to work" for every employee.
We choose to participate in this conversation and affirm our identity as an anti-racist company. We hope you will join us.
