Our mission is to provide advanced cloud solutions that are accessible and equitable for all, while actively promoting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI).
At the heart of our mission is a dedication to promoting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in everything we do. We believe that data solutions have the potential to create real-world impact, and it is our responsibility to ensure that the benefits of our work are accessible to all.
Part of this mission is to develop innovative data solutions that promote equity and inclusion, and to provide these solutions to underrepresented and marginalized communities. We recognize that many individuals and communities face unique challenges and barriers that prevent them from accessing and utilizing data.
We are committed to addressing these challenges through our work and making our solutions accessible to everyone.
We believe that DEI is not a project to complete, a box to check, or point of arrival. It's a continual, ongoing work towards progress.
We have established an internal group of members to steer Skypoint along its DEI journey, establishing milestones to further mature our DEI efforts.
We delivered our first internal survey to employees in April of 2023 enabling them to opt-in to providing demographics such as age, gender, race, and orientation to establish a baseline for future improvement.
We will continue to hone our DEI mission statement to include a vision statement and incorporate goals to further mature our DEI efforts.
Setup company-sponsored opportunities to support a local charity or non-profit organizations.
Incorporate trainings within our internal LMS to educate employees on such topics as Implicit bias, accessibility, micro-agressions, and historical awareness.
Local non-profit organizations we support through employee volunteerism, event sponsorships and other advocacy.
