Diversity

We take deliberate actions to learn and grow.

• Resource library to encourage consistent learning
• Diversity playbook to determine goals and guide our efforts for the year
• Dedicated group of Champions to conduct research, guide our team, and hold us accountable
• Saxum Registry—team members fill out a profile slide in the registry to share and celebrate what we value and what makes us unique
• Regular outreach to clients in the form of blogs, email newsletters, etc. to prompt discussion of diversity-related topics

We provide space for open, intentional discussion.

• Common language for diversity topics enables discussion and understanding of how diversity relates to our work at Saxum
• Monthly celebrations and Lunch and Learn sessions
• Slack channel focused on diversity-related events and topics—encouraging team to discuss and providing resources for further learning
• Regular team input on internal efforts via confidential surveys

We form partnerships to further diversity work in our community.
