every POINT ONE has launched!๐๐๐
From a platform for women of color in STEM to helping make STEM socially responsible
We launched! Time for the real work to start.
Thank you for being a part of this journey. Seriously.
every POINT ONE started as a platform to help connect women of color in STEM with organizations looking to improve the diversity of their employee base.ย After connecting women to multiple organizations, we realized that the problem wasnโt a lack of skilled, thoughtful, and competent individuals, but that the STEM workforce isnโt built to retain diverse talent, leading to the true โpipeline problemโ - a leaking bucket.
This led to months of interviewing leadership and employees within the STEM industry, completing two Microsoft for Startups Accelerator partnership programs, and finally pivoting to help companies create and incorporate social responsibility practices throughout their entire organization.ย We evolved our approach and belief from the common โpipeline problemโ refrain, to instead be thatโฆ.
social responsibility is not a box you check, but is incorporated into a companyโs DNA.
This is why we currently support six departments plus Governance in a science & tech organization: Recruitment, Retention, Sales, Marketing, Product Development, and Data Ethics.
As a Public Benefit Corporation, we wanted to make our Standards accessible to all STEM organizations. You can get started creating your company policies by accessing our Freemium package that has 1 Governance & 3 Recruitment Standards, 6 Company Requirements, Performance Metrics & Metric Goals.
Once again, THANK YOU!
