Cultivating Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging
We are a community and we believe our unique qualities should be celebrated as they are critical to our growth. It's essential to us that you bring your authentic self to work every single day, no matter your age, ethnicity, religion, citizenship, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability status, caring responsibilities, neurodiversity, or otherwise. Inclusion isn't just an initiative at x+why. We strive to embed it not just into our values but throughout our entire culture.
