🌟 Prioritizing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at Swell Partners 🌈 At Swell Partners, one of our core values is Valuing Diversity. This year marks an 𝗲𝘅𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗲 for us as we prioritize our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) strategy. Our aim is to solidify a culture that's inherently inclusive for all. We invite you to follow our page and join us on this journey as we strive to create more inclusive, equitable, and happy workplaces 🤗 Some of the initiatives we're implementing include: 1️⃣ revisiting our DEI goals, 2️⃣ opening up team-wide dialogues around DEI, 3️⃣ collaborating on a company-wide DEI vocabulary,  4️⃣ and engaging in identity reflection activities. We recently shared an educational article with tips to help leaders celebrate Black History Month in a meaningful way. Consulting with helpful resources like that article is just one step on our journey towards greater awareness and action in the realm of DEI. 📈 As a #FastGrowingCompany, we acknowledge that we're still learning and evolving. As Swell Partners grows, we're committed to learning, evolving, and integrating DEI deeply into our culture and operations. #DiversityandInclusion #DEI #BlackHistoryMonth #TeamSwell

#Juneteenth commemorates and celebrates the end of slavery in the U.S., slavery's legacy being especially tragic considering that the U.S. was conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all people are created equal. With Piazza's founding values and mission, and ongoing commitment to #DEI, including in both our #edtech and #recruiting tech offerings' impact on students at #HBCU and other universities, and in their career opportunities, we support taking time to educate ourselves on the importance of Juneteenth. And to reflect and act on building a more equitable future. #diversityandinclusion #BlackLivesMatter #blackintech #blacksintech #blackinstem #blackengineers #highereducation #highered #diversityrecruiting #universityrecruiting #talentacquisition

A Culture of Honor - What would our nation look like if we practiced this principle? What impact could we have on our country, region, city, community, and neighborhood if we outdid one another by showing honor? What could your workplace look like? How would your family be impacted? How could your team benefit from a competition of one upping each other in honor? I think this one principle could change the game! #CultureOfHonor

#Inclusive workplaces are for everyone. They embody a #culture where every voice is heard, experience is valued and journey is supported. They are committed to creating environments that empower, uplift and #advocate. They drive #innovation and creativity. They acknowledge and dismantle #barriers to ensure equal opportunities for everyone to grow and succeed. They cultivate #belonging at all levels of an organization. Developing these workplaces requires fortitude and #resilience. These are the words that inspire me as we transition into #BlackHistoryMonth. As we take time to honor the rich history of the Black community, let's challenge ourselves to #learn from lived experiences that may not reflect your own. Let’s be the #change agents that have continued to advance progress in the eye of adversity today and in the days to come.
