Sharing and Celebrating Our Differences

Through our Employee Driven Inclusion Committee

 

We want our employees to feel recognized, celebrated, and a part of a bigger picture. This is especially important in today’s remote work environment. We also realize that different viewpoints and experiences can lend to endless possibilities for growth, expansion, and the pursuit of fresh ideas.

 

Our Management Team, in collaboration with members of the Geographic Solutions Culture Crew, decided it was time to establish a diverse and enthusiastic group of individuals to explore, celebrate, and acknowledge all the wonderful things that make us different and unique. The Inclusion Committee was assembled during an open call, and the response was overwhelming. We were able to pull together representation from a broad range of ethnicities, cultural backgrounds, national origins, gender identities or expressions, abilities, and age ranges. This group includes veterans and takes into consideration various types of family status. These ‘allies,’ as we like to call them, are committed to making real change and cultivating an environment of inclusivity for all who work or are interested in working for Geographic Solutions. The Inclusion Committee is devoted to organizing company events, providing resources and information, creating support groups, participating in activities, and so much more. The opportunities are endless, and we are open to all ideas and involvement.

 

It is the committee’s hope, that through the work and information shared, that we can attract, retain, and celebrate talent from all walks of life. Different perspectives truly make our company unique.

We Are an Ally

And an LGBTQ+-Friendly Employer

 

The inclusion of LGBTQ+ individuals is vital to our organization as it promotes equality, diversity, varied backgrounds, and a sense of belonging. We encourage our team members to openly express themselves without fear of prejudice or bigotry.

 

To promote a positive, inclusive working environment, we have put in place rules and programs that remove discrimination, promote equality, protect rights, and foster acceptance. We strive to make sure that LGBTQ+ individuals feel appreciated and respected in the workplace by offering assistance, resources, and often times - the most important - an ear to listen.

 

Below are just a few of the rules, policies, and programs we currently have in place:
