Intertwine Research fosters a diverse, inclusive, and equitable workplace where all associates, whatever their gender, race, ethnicity, national origin, age, sexual orientation or identity feel valued and respected. We are committed to a nondiscriminatory approach and provide equal opportunity for those we contract and partner with to produce representative and diverse research studies.

 

We respect and value diverse life experiences and heritages and ensure that all voices are valued and heard.

 

We’re committed to modeling diversity and inclusion for the learning technology community and to maintaining an inclusive environment with equitable treatment for all.

 

Intertwine’s management strongly believes in the value of diverse teams and voices and this results in better group brainstorming, problem-solving, and outcomes.

 

​

To provide informed, authentic leadership for cultural equity, Intertwine strives to:

​

• See diversity, inclusion, and equity as connected to our mission and critical to ensuring the well-being of those we partner with and our team as a whole.

​​

• Acknowledge and dismantle any inequities within our policies and programs.

​​

• Explore potential underlying, unquestioned assumptions that interfere with inclusiveness.

​​

• Challenge assumptions about what it takes to be a strong contributor at our organization, and who is well-positioned to provide insights and leadership.

​​

• Practice and encourage transparent communication in all interactions.

​​

• Lead with respect and tolerance. We expect those we work with to embrace this notion and to express it in everyday practices.

​

 

Intertwine Research follows these principles to help promote diversity and inclusion in our workplace:

​

• Include diverse and representative samples in our research initiatives.

​​

• Pursue cultural competency by creating substantive learning opportunities and transparent policies.

​​

• Pool resources and expand offerings for underrepresented constituents by connecting with other organizations committed to diversity and inclusion efforts.

​​

• Be intentional and conscious of bias when selecting research partners.

​​

• Advocate for public and private-sector policy that promotes diversity, inclusion, and equity. Challenge systems and policies that create inequity, oppression, and disparity.

​​

• Enforce a zero-tolerance policy for bullying and harassment.
