At Sharethrough, we strive for a diverse, unique, open and caring company culture. Our ongoing goals and objectives reflect our efforts to consistently embed diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives into our company culture.
The collective sum of our experiences, knowledge, talent, self-expression & unique capabilities that Sharethrough employees bring to their work make up the core of our company culture.
We fully embrace employees’ differences in age, ethnic origin, race, religion - and the multitude of other areas that make us all unique.
Our task force is made up of seven diverse employees, who are dedicated to acknowledging and celebrating our diversity and ensuring we educate and inform our team about DEIB matters.

"I truly believe we can achieve more as an organization if we encourage, give a voice, and listen to people from different backgrounds as it helps us innovate and approach situations from multiple angles. I'm eager to see how we can continue to improve our practices to create an even more diverse and inclusive workforce."

"DEI is important to me because as a latina woman in tech I want to have figures to look up to. I want representation. We need systems that better adapt to our current globalized status, we need accessibility and understanding, and the only way to achieve it is by having a diverse group of people working together."

The meter outlined below describes in detail the concrete steps we have taken towards improving awareness, caring and growth of diversity, equity and inclusion at Sharethrough.
When it comes to DEIB, there are endless options for actions you can take in regards to generating a positive work environment.
Every year, we ask employees what they want Sharethrough as a company to focus on, to make sure we were addressing the needs of employees and steering the ship in the right direction. After compiling the results from our surveys, we put our action plan in place and started tackling important items, one after another.
a. Making our social events geared towards cultural celebration to raise awareness towards other cultures & practices.
b. We celebrate important milestones and history of different cultures by frequently posting cultural events on Slack as it helps promote a more inclusive and diverse workplace and fosters understanding and empathy amongst our employees.
a. All our women are attending the Women in Tech Global Conference. This event aims to encourage our women to build a stronger network with women in tech communities, but also to share knowledge, experiences and thought leadership with a large community, to grow stronger together.
b. We have launched an ERG for Women at Sharethrough to pair women with internal mentors, as well as discuss and learn more about the experiences of other women on important topics such as self-confidence, negotiation skills, impostor syndrome.
We partner with DEI businesses and champions to provide education and trainings to our employees to ensure we keep DEIB at the forefront of our company culture. This year, we have several different training geared towards allyship & microaggression, all forms of biases, inclusive recruitment and inclusive leadership.
Sharethrough offers a paid volunteering day to all its employees - the DEIB Committee ensures to provide the team with opportunities to give their time to support underrepresented groups.
Trainings & workshops for the team involved in recruitment efforts.
Partnerships with underrepresented job websites to grow our diverse portfolio of candidates.
People from underrepresented backgrounds tend to apply only to jobs that match 100% of their qualifications. We removed ‘’nice-to-have’’ qualifications and added a blurb to encourage all to apply, even if they don’t have the qualifications!
We do our best to identify and eliminate any gender bias or language that may be unintentionally present in the description. This promotes equal opportunities for all genders and creates a more inclusive hiring process.
In the months and years to come, we are determined to remain transparent with Sharethrough employees, vigilant and aware of the direction that we are leading our company in, and pushing progress forward.
Transparency: Quarterly and yearly updates for Sharethroughers on our progression towards a diverse & inclusive environment.
Awareness: Frequently revisiting our DEI game plan, and remaining up-to-date on DEI issues and best practices in the workplace.
We believe there is always work to be done for DEIB - topics evolve, and it is impossible to tackle it all in a set period of time. In order for an environment to be truly DEIB, efforts must be taken day after day, month after month, year after year. Sharethrough commits on making continuous efforts to make this environment one where people can bring their whole selves to work. We do not believe in success without it.
