Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
M3 is building a culture focused on learning and progression, where M3ers are empowered by education, inclusive conversations, and real action that supports the future we envision.
Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is a guiding force for every aspect of our business. It’s ingrained in every action we take, because we know words alone are not enough to create a future where everyone belongs. And we believe our work is never done. Every day is an opportunity to do better for our employees, our clients, and our communities.
LEARN, GIVE, DO…
Through this three-step filter, we work to increase inclusion, diversity, equity, belonging, and understanding as an integral part of our culture and business.
Learn
Coordinate onsite, small group discussions on overcoming prejudice and bias, facilitated by local people experienced in this work.
Give
Partner with M3 Foundation to give back to community organizations fighting for equality and against injustice.
Do
Form resource groups, such as the Women’s Business Resource Group, focused on fighting inequalities.
Why create a Women’s Business Resource Group?
We believe that when groups of people are more diverse, they can be more innovative, and they’re more likely to develop unique approaches, questions and ideas. Our WBRG members have a voice which influences collaboration and growth and unlocks opportunities for acquiring and retaining business.
What do we want to achieve?
- A diverse, inclusive workplace
- Development of future women leaders
- Increased employee engagement
- Expanded marketplace reach
How are we doing it?
M3’s WBRG goals are realized in part through the work of three distinct committees: Commerce, Community and Career. By focusing on where these committees can have real impact – with our teams, communities, industry partners and clients – we are confident we can drive real change.
M3 Women’s Business Resource Group is dedicated to women connecting with and helping other women on their path to success.
DEI Thought Leaders and Partners
As a female in the technology industry, my own experience fuels the passion I bring to M3’s DEI committee. I’m proud of our efforts to foster belonging, value, and respect. This work doesn’t stop within our walls – so it’s important that we also share our journey externally.
