Zero Gravity Marketing’s Diversity, Equity, And Inclusion (DEI) Commitment
Zero Gravity Marketing is committed to creating a workplace environment and tight-knit team that can celebrate a diverse group of individuals while feeling valued, respected, and engaged in their profession and passions.
Our expert digital marketing team acknowledges and celebrates a world full of diversity by accepting and welcoming unbiased conversations and education about equity and inclusion. Through diversity, the Zero Gravity team finds strength, understanding, and compassion to keep our hearts open, our ears ready to listen, and our minds open to learning. By educating and assisting our organization in a deeper understanding of our differences and what we can do to strengthen our connections, we get closer to creating an equitable environment and using our collective talents for the greater good.
How Can DEI Be Explained?
- ⟶Diversity means celebrating and embracing our differences, backgrounds, and perspectives.
- ⟶Equity ensures fair treatment, access, and opportunity for all individuals.
- ⟶Inclusion fosters a sense of belonging, where everyone feels valued and respected.
What is DEI?
A DEI committee is a group of individuals within an organization from various departments that plan, promote, strategize, educate, and encourage DEI and its mission in the workplace.
ZGM fosters a company culture that prioritizes an inclusive working environment. The DEI Committee develops policies and programs geared towards education and awareness. These initiatives ensure that everyone within the organization feels included, respected, and supported.
It’s the difference between “These are people that I work with” and “These are my people!” Workplace diversity training emerged in the mid-1960s following the introduction of equal employment laws and affirmative action. In recent years, we experienced several movements that compelled us to reflect on the social injustices that exist in our country and our professional world. ZGM realized that DEI in the workplace needed to be an essential part of our everyday conversations so that employees can foster cultural competence, workplace inclusion, and diversity.
The Zero Gravity Marketing Approach to DEI
Our DEI Committee communicates educational information through our DEI Update Channel in our internal communication system. The content within it is meant to inspire our employees to learn more about certain awareness days and provide resources and suggestions for books, movies, motivational playlists, quotes, and personal stories. During our monthly DEI Committee calls, we discuss the larger workplace initiatives we want to implement and how they can be supported.
The DEI Committee plans to continue to work to understand how we can better engage in what is happening around us and make Team ZGM feel a part of the greater good inside and outside the workplace. We also plan to pass on our learnings to our clients and help them implement best practices in this space regarding diversity, equity, and inclusion in their digital marketing campaigns.
