DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION policy 

Individuality, collaboration, and inclusion are at the heart of REALWORK’s culture, both as a workplace and a community. We encourage and support women to experience their potential as individuals, colleagues, and members. We share stories of women’s work; we aim to inform and inspire your idea of what’s possible. ⁠We believe that this approach creates a solid foundation for the co-creation of our activities, the quality of our experiences and our collective success as REALWORKers.  

OUR VALUES

We like to keep things simple, relatable, and accessible.

These are our guiding principles, or values, for how we behave. It is our roadmap for good times and bad:   

WE TAKE ACTION, WHOLEHEARTEDLY

  • We want you to create a business or work life that is right for you.

  • We understand that everyone has different needs, circumstances and ambitions.

  • We try to ensure that everyone is empowered with any help they might need, when they need it.

WE DO THE WORK, COLLABORATIVELY  

  • We are firm believers in peer support.

  • Everyone has something to teach and something to learn.

  • We lift each other up along the way.

WE VALUE DIFFERENCE, OPENLY  

  •   At REALWORK we are committed to building a healthy, inclusive, and accessible community space where our members feel able to open up about their vulnerabilities, just as much as celebrating their successes.

  • We welcome individual differences and advocate for doing the work, even if it gets uncomfortable We lift each other up along the way.

  • We're aware, actively challenging and working on our unconscious bias.

Our DEI work and culture creation was headed up by Christina Clark, founder of Work Culturati and further training and guidance came from Sima Kumar, CEO of Diversity Education company The Other Box.
