We recognize that people and diversity are our greatest assets. Without any formal policies, we have built a company comprised of multigenerational high-performers with diverse backgrounds, countries of origin, racial and ethnic backgrounds, and religions. Almost two-thirds of our employees are women and half the leadership team are women. Since 2021, The Collective’s EDI vision statement is managed by an employee-led Equity, Diversity, and Inclusivity Committee.
To embrace the full spectrum of diversity within our workforce, foster a culture that values differences and ensure equity and inclusion for everyone, both within our own organization and in the communities within which we live and work. We will hold ourselves accountable for constant progress, measured against our stated objectives through regular reporting and communication to our staff, business partners and customers.
The Collective developed a framework with four pillars—Diverse Workforce, Inclusive Workplace, Community Engagement, and Accountability & Measurement. By having these pillars, The Collective can build a comprehensive approach to fostering equity, diversity, and inclusion, ensuring that these principles are integrated into various aspects of our operations and culture.
Foster a culture of respect, equality and inclusivity for everyone, both inside and outside our company. We believe our diversity of experiences, cultures and backgrounds provide a better workplace environment. It involves actively recruiting and retaining individuals from various backgrounds and creating an environment where everyone feels welcome.
Create a culture that both values and raises the culture differences in our workplace. This includes promoting a sense of belonging, providing equal opportunities for growth and advancement, and addressing biases or barriers that may exist.
Establish an internal and external community of equity, diversity and inclusion. Endeavor to actively engage with the broader community, foster partnerships, and contribute to initiatives that promote diversity and inclusion in the wider society.
Measure our performance against our own benchmarks, be accountable to our staff, partners and customers. Strive for establishing metrics, tracking performance, and implementing strategies to continually improve EDI efforts.
