We just dropped 2 more resources from behind the scenes of Upwork's accelerated Black #diversity, #inclusion and #belonging (#DEI) efforts./1

#1 - "How to Support Black Employees in Times of Racial Crisis" is a tip sheet we shared with our managers to offer guidance on how to approach conversations about the current race crisis with individuals & teams./2

This tool has cracked open hard conversations & given Black employees the space needed to request support while also empowering managers & increasing their confidence: upwork.com/resources/blac…

#2 - "Why CEOs Should Take a Public Stance: Perspectives from DIBs Leaders" shares another annotated CEO memo that announces Upwork's investment of $200,000 in charitable giving to orgs supporting racial justice in the US./4

Importantly, our giving involves a company match so all team members can engage in solidarity. AJ and I break down why @hydnbrwn's message is effective:

We are just getting started and - by sharing our resources - we hope you're on your way too./end
