WHAT OUR BASIS CHAMPIONS HAVE TO SAY

  • “All of us lead different lives, and it is easy to get lost in the day to day. The ERGs here have provided a way to build relationships with people I wouldn’t ordinarily cross paths with. They have also provided a place to just be, when the world around us makes it hard to do so.”
    — Kawandra D. Collins
  • “Before starting our Black Excellence ERG, it was difficult to navigate what showing up as my full “self” looked like in the workplace. There is so much power in sharing a space with individuals who understand the complexity of your identity. Our community now allows us to pour into each other and lean into a support system that inspires us to reach our highest potential in environments where we are often marginalized. Our ERG network is—without a doubt—one of my favorite aspects of working at Basis.”
    — Kaela Green
  • “We started Basis Beats because it brings us joy to sing and incorporate music into our everyday lives. It’s such a great way to get to know new people on different teams at Basis and share our passion for music”
    — Celia Dubroof
  • “As an ERG leader, it’s been a rewarding experience to help foster a community of unique individuals who share similar goals for our group and the company as a whole. Connecting with one another about our personal lives, work experiences, and the changes we want to make in our community creates a greater sense of understanding and care for team members who I would have never otherwise known because we work in disparate areas within the company.”
    — Marissa Enfield
