We Want You to Be You at MS2

At MS2 a diverse, inclusive, and equitable workplace is one where all employees, whatever their race, gender, color, ethnicity, national origin, age, sexual orientation or identity, education, disability, religion, or veteran status, feel valued and respected.

• Provide a working environment where all employees feel safe, comfortable, and valued.

• Examine and dismantle any inequities within our policies, systems, programs, and services, and continually update and report our progress to our employees.
• Explore potential underlying, unquestioned assumptions that interfere with inclusiveness.
• Encourage company-wide thinking about how systemic inequities impact our organization’s work, and how best to address that in a way that is consistent with our mission.
• Help to challenge assumptions about what it takes to be a strong leader at our organization, and who is well-positioned to provide leadership.
• Practice and encourage respectful and transparent communication in all interactions.
• Commit time and resources to expand more diverse leadership at all levels of our organization.
• Lead with respect and tolerance. We expect all employees to embrace this notion and to express it in workplace interactions and through everyday practices.
