Building our radically inclusive workplace
We had the privilege to attend the Virtual 3% Conference, a celebration of pushing diversity and creativity in advertising. We’re excited to dive deeper into the key topics that made the most impact on us in our upcoming blog posts!
“Instead of judging yourself, putting yourself down, calling yourself a failure: let yourself go gently and just begin again. The healing is in the return, not in never having wandered, to begin with.” — Sharon Salzberg
“The future of work is justice for all and nothing else.” — Lily Zheng
“Don’t worry about tokenism. Go after it. Take advantage of it.” — Cindy Gallop
“We often throw around the phrase, ‘Bring your whole self to work,’ and we’re in an environment now where we have to bring work to our fullest selves.” — Jason Rosario
“How many of us are seeing talents, abilities, and innovation in the people we know that were completely invisible to us before? How much more is there to a person when we remove the constraints of business-as-usual?” — Rhi Bergado
“My dad helped run the family so my mom could help run the world.” — Thomas Bickley
“Creativity is exploring during this period, and not just because we are home — we have the need to express ourselves in this moment.” — Ann Lewnes
“Self-care is important and sometimes we just need a break. Make sure to log off and log out when necessary and encourage your employees to do the same.” — Simone Wicha
“Age diversity improves team performance. On creative tasks, on complex decision-making tasks… Anytime when different perspectives are needed, it’s positive.” — Heather Tinsley-Fix
“What is your real commitment to systemic racism? You can’t write a brief for it. You cannot approach this problem like you approach everything else.” — Yadira Harrison
“This isn’t a brief. Don’t approach this movement the same way you do everything else. Don’t do anything if it can’t be authentic and long term. What’s your commitment going to look like in a real way?” — Kofi Amoo-Gottfried
We were excited to fully engage with the extensive and diverse content and will be bringing back the learnings and actions that can advance the inclusivity in our workplace!
The future is NOW.
