Leadership

Executive sponsorship is the #1 indicator of a business initiative's success. That's why we sought and obtained buy-in from Dataprise CMO Mary Beth Hamilton; her commitment to engaging diverse voices and growing diverse teams makes her the perfect leader to sponsor this important initiative.

“Dataprise’s Leadership believes that building, fostering, and growing a diverse workforce and culture is a powerful multiplier for both our employees and our business – it drives opportunities, innovation, and growth. This belief permeates through how we build teams, support employees, and maintain focus on our DEI companywide.“

Attract

We’ve made some recent key adjustments to our talent acquisition strategy, including creating more inclusive job descriptions and leveraging our Applicant Tracking System (ATS) analytics to identify under-represented groups and use that data to post jobs to sites that may attract more diverse talent.

“At Dataprise we want our workforce to feel empowered. That’s why we focus on creating a culture and brand that allows our employees to take ownership of their careers and affords us the opportunity to ATTRACT the very best in the industry. We’ve made tremendous strides and continue to evolve our talent acquisition strategy that’s firmly built on our DEI initiatives and PROUD values. I’m honored to work for an organization that allows me to be my authentic self, hears my voice, and offers employee resource groups inclusive of my individuality.“

Hire

The Talent Acquisition team at Dataprise prioritizes hiring from a diverse talent pool by posting jobs to a wide-range of job sites that attract candidates from all backgrounds, establishing relationships with colleges and universities that have a large minority population, and by partnering with organizations that empower minorities and under-represented communities.

““At Dataprise, we believe our employee workforce should appropriately reflect the world we live in as well as the clients we support. It is our differences that make us stronger and allow us to learn from one another. By bringing together talented individuals from different backgrounds, we embrace inclusion, equity, diversity, and importantly, diversity of thought. It is only with collaboration from different perspectives that we are able to make impactful decisions that allow us to reach our true potential as a company. Dataprise fosters an environment of belonging and inclusion where you can be your authentic self every day. Our goal is to be the employer of choice for the best and brightest talent who embrace our core values-PROUD! Passionate, Respectful, Ownership, Unified, and Decisive.” SVP, Human Resources “

Retain

We'll push to retain our diverse talent by forming a DEI committee to serve as diversity ambassadors who will ensure the DEI strategy is executed on. Likewise, we'll conduct consistent data analysis to analyze our culture, implement additional perks/benefits that cater to a diverse and inclusive workforce, for minority groups within Dataprise, and more.

““It’s easy for an organization to say that it is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion, but the organization’s leaders need to set the tone and live those values. Everyone comes from different backgrounds. We need to find contextually appropriate ways to lift up our team members. We need to both be authentic and encourage authenticity. And above all, we need to listen. Sometimes these conversations push us out of our comfort zone, but the perspective we gain from them is critical to fostering a safe and welcoming environment.”“
