Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in Action

Ten Thousand Feet, the Vervint Podcast

We talk about being a people-first organization. We value our employees and our families so much that it's baked into our company values.

Our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion committee (DEI) exists to help OST deliver on that mission for all employees, especially those that haven't been traditionally represented in technology industry.

On this episode, we talk with Kiran Sood Patel, Dave VandeWaa, and Hannah Staal, core members of the DEI team, about what initiatives they have underway and what's changed for them with the growing movement toward racial justice in our country.

In the episode, Kiran reads our Statement on Diversity, which now appears on all of OST's job postings. Here it is in entirety:

You matter! Your experiences matter, your journey with us matters, and your success matters. People drive all our achievements, and we know that taking care of each other takes care of everything else. Because everyone matters, we strive to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion within our company, the work we do, and our communities. We’ll surely face challenges along the way. And we’ll all continually learn from them to build a caring culture true to our guiding principles: honor, delight, serve, embrace, and learn.
We don't take this commitment lightly and will share more about how this conversation and activity is evolving here.

Enjoy!
