At Contrivers, we believe that diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are not just corporate buzzwords—they are the foundation of a thriving and innovative workplace. Our commitment to DEI is woven into our culture, guiding how we hire, collaborate, and grow as a team.
Why DEI Matters to Us
A diverse team brings fresh perspectives, fosters creativity, and drives innovation. When people from different backgrounds, experiences, and viewpoints come together, we build better solutions, make smarter decisions, and create a more inclusive world. Equity ensures that all employees have access to the same opportunities, while inclusion ensures that every voice is heard and valued.
Our DEI Initiatives
To uphold our commitment to DEI, Contrivers has implemented a range of initiatives to foster an inclusive environment where everyone feels a sense of belonging.
- Inclusive Hiring Practices
We are committed to reducing bias in our recruitment processes. This includes:
- Structured and blind resume screenings to evaluate talent based on skills and experience.
- Diverse hiring panels to ensure varied perspectives in candidate selection.
- Expanding outreach to underrepresented communities in tech and business.
- Continuous Learning and Training
Education is key to building a truly inclusive workplace. We offer:
- Regular DEI training for employees and leadership.
- Workshops on unconscious bias, allyship, and cultural competency.
- Access to learning resources that promote diversity awareness.
- All employees are required to engage in rigorous DEI awareness training via our platform, KnowBe4, to ensure a consistent and high standard of DEI education across the organization.
- Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)
ERGs provide a safe space for employees to connect and support each other. Our current ERGs include:
- Women at Contrivers – Empowering women through mentorship and advocacy.
- LGBTQ+ Alliance – Promoting an inclusive and supportive workplace for LGBTQ+ employees.
- Cultural Diversity Network – Celebrating multiculturalism and fostering cross-cultural understanding.
- Pay Equity and Career Growth
Equity in pay and opportunities is non-negotiable. We conduct:
- Regular pay audits to ensure fair compensation across all roles.
- Leadership development programs to nurture diverse talent and future leaders.
- Mentorship programs connecting underrepresented employees with senior mentors.
- Community Engagement and Social Responsibility
Beyond our workplace, we believe in making a positive impact on society. Our DEI-focused community efforts include:
- Partnerships with organizations that support marginalized communities in tech and entrepreneurship.
- Volunteering initiatives that encourage employees to give back.
- Scholarships and internship programs for students from underrepresented backgrounds.
Holding Ourselves Accountable
DEI is an ongoing journey, not a one-time initiative. We continuously assess our efforts through:
- Employee feedback and inclusion surveys.
