Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Magic happens when people of all identities and backgrounds come together to support a common goal. At Basis Technologies, we’re in constant pursuit of that magic—and we know we can’t achieve it without systems to ensure diversity, equity, and inclusion across our teams.

Our Mission

At Basis Technologies, we strive to:

Provide continuing education to ensure all our people are familiar with diverse perspectives.

Our Guiding Principles

We use the following principles to guide initiatives
in service of our mission statement:

Accountability

As an international organization with international clients, our philosophy of DEI is globally informed. At the same time, we tailor our initiatives to the local needs of each office and team.

Amplifies

A reactionary “commitments, then crickets” DEI strategy is not our style. We invest our resources in initiatives that are built for true change and lasting impact.

Global

Our people and workplace are our first priorities—sharing our efforts externally is secondary. Our goal is to live our values and provide transparency into our progress along the way.

Change

Workplace DEI doesn’t happen in a silo. To make impact, each member of our team must be engaged and committed.

Our Initiatives

Here are four examples of how Basis Technologies
puts our DEI mission and guiding principles to work:

Employee Resource Groups

Basis Employee Resource Groups are communities centered around shared identities, interests, life experiences, and/or backgrounds—providing their members with the time, space, and resources they need to come together in a safe space.

Basis Conversations

Each month, we host an employee-led conversation aimed at educating and fostering dialogue among our team members. Previous topics include the importance of LGBTQIA+ pride, what allyship looks like in practice, and panels of team members with shared identities.

Giving Tree

Our internal philanthropic organization engages our team in giving back to under-resourced communities outside of Basis. The Giving Tree integrates service into our corporate DNA, ensuring our efforts to build a more equitable world extend outside of the workplace.

Cultural Immersions

Basis Technologies provides our people with free admission to local, immersive cultural experiences that allow them
to learn about non-dominant and/or marginalized cultures while building rapport with their fellow Beeps. Facilitating
these experiences helps us further our goal of providing continuing education around a variety of identities and perspectives.

I cannot express how much I appreciate the opportunity to increase my knowledge and further my DE&I journey because of the ongoing efforts at Basis. I’ve learned so much through our Basis Conversations and Employee Resource Groups. I feel incredibly lucky to be part of a company that prioritizes DE&I and holds space for important conversation, knowledge sharing, and reflection.”

— April Weeks | EVP, Media Services & Operations

DEI at Basis has helped me break out of my own bubble of sameness and appreciate people of all walks of life. We all have unconscious biases, and if we are not focusing and learning to identify them, then we are doing ourselves a disservice. Thank you, Basis, for bringing DEI to the forefront.”

— Tyler Kelly | President

The focus we have at Basis around diversity and inclusivity has set me on a journey to better educate myself, prioritize learning opportunities for myself and my team, and to ultimately lead with more empathy. I am forever grateful for the opportunity I’ve had to learn and grow at Basis.”
