秋葵app

秋葵app leaders, along with the Equity Council and the Black Employee Network (BEN), are taking a stand in support of social justice across America for our employees, members, friends and family.

“The time for patiently waiting for change to occur is over. We at 秋葵app are certainly ready to do our part,” said Erhardt Preitauer, President & CEO, 秋葵app. “I'm assembling a diverse group of employees to listen, seek to understand, and ultimately assure we are doing everything we can to support inclusion and diversity across our organization, both for our employees and our members.”

秋葵app revamped our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Program earlier this year and launched the BEN, the organization’s first Employee Resource Group. These groups are helping to create dialogue, building community and driving inclusion across 秋葵app like never before.

“This is an opportunity for us to examine our inherent biases, educate ourselves on other cultures and the plights that are faced—more importantly to amplify the voice of the voiceless,” said Regina Miolan, Chairperson, 秋葵app Black Employee Network. “We as a 秋葵app community can do our part together! The Equity Council and the Black Employee Network are committed to sharing and educating on our cultural difference in order to move towards a more unified workforce.”

Short Term Training

Continuing with our courageous, organization-wide conversations, we invited diversity and leadership speaker and trainer to speak to our organization on Friday, June 12. Dr. Dibinga has shared his work nationally and internationally and will help us process where we are, where we can go as a country, and even as a company.

We were thrilled to host as he spoke to all employees, challenging us to move past just being an ally to full partnership. It's a challenge we take to heart. To learn more about our ongoing commitment to and being visit:

Long Term Strategy

A team of 秋葵app employees including representation from the Equity Council and the Black Employee Network have been tasked with developing an inclusive strategy meant to listen, support, appreciate and educate.  This strategy, entitled, “Are YOU Listening?” will have a three-pronged approach:

• Action Now!

Develop action initiatives that will take place in the following weeks focused on a primary goal of listening to our Black employees. Our theme is “Are You Listening.”

• Becoming Color Brave

Create the forum for open and safe communication about racism, continuing to listen, fostering an inclusive environment, reaching out to all of the 秋葵app family. We want to take into consideration all of the individuals who make 秋葵app such a great company.

• Sustainability

Ensure our actions are not limited by the current attention these atrocities are receiving, sustainability carries the most significant weight because it’s putting initiatives in place that not only measure our performance but make us accountable to this promise.

秋葵app is committed to ending racism starting with every interaction our employees have with our members, providers, community partners and colleagues.
