Worksmith Response
7yWorksmith is built on caring: caring about solving our customer’s challenges; caring about helping our local service providers to grow their businesses; caring about building a team of smart, dedicated individuals who are energized by the opportunity to build a meaningful company together; and caring about learning every day to create a better business. We care about any type of feedback we receive, and we view any input as an important learning opportunity. Therefore, we take the points made in this review very seriously.
Since seeing this post, we have had open conversations with every member of our team to discuss the very important topic of equality in the workplace. Although the allegations in the post were not substantiated, they have highlighted for us that we need to continue to work hard to make Worksmith a productive, safe, and welcoming environment for everyone. Clearly it was not perceived as such for the author of this review, and for that we are extremely disappointed.
Worksmith is committed to building a diverse team and inclusive culture. Our leadership team is 50% female and 50% male. Our entire company is 42% female and 58% male. We are proud of the work we have done so far to build an inclusive company environment, but we know that we have more work to do to continue to promote diversity of culture, race, religion, age, and more. Further, we are dedicated to building a team of individuals who uphold our shared values of caring, curiosity, candor, collaboration, and serving as catalysts for change. We believe strongly that together, we can build something great.
