Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging
At Brightly, we believe diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) are the building blocks for an intentional approach to transformative business and culture. We aim to create a space where colleagues and clients feel safe bringing their authentic selves to the table with innovative thoughts, diverse perspectives, and unique skills welcomed and encouraged.
As a global technology company, we recognize our responsibility to show up as leaders in the DEIB space not just as a value, but as a commitment. We strive for all colleagues and clients to be a part and not apart.
Here are the ways we're super-charging DEIB at Brightly:
- Expanding our DEIB messaging through internal and external communications channels
- Enhancing our leadership toolkit with educational training programs focused on highlighting important aspects of DEIB from a leadership perspective
- Providing space for colleagues to have thoughtful dialogue around topics that expand the principles of DEIB with bi-monthly virtual conversation sessions
- Building a diverse talent base through recruitment, including creating an intern to full-time talent pipeline through partnerships with minority-serving institutions and organizations
- Energizing Brightly Employee Resource Groups
