The Culture at Cision
Nurturing an Inclusive Culture Through Diversity
Diversity and inclusion are the foundation upon which Cision was built. Being a global business, you sort of have to be a diverse company. But it is easy to say you are and a totally different thing to practice what you preach. Cision definitely practices their preaching. The fact that each individual office has a designated culture ambassador says a lot about the company. Any company that is willing to have a full-time employee dedicated solely to the culture is doing something right. Three ways that Cision maintains its diverse and inclusive culture is through education, collaboration, and accountability.
Val Lopez, Vice president of Global Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, said, "At Cision, it is our belief that everyone deserves an equal chance to succeed. No-one should be discriminated against based on their age, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation or disabilities. It is our mission to create a workplace where everyone can be their authentic selves and prosper as a result. A fair and equal company isn't simply a nice to have, it's an absolute business imperative -- more diverse companies are proven to perform better."
Cision has a great employee-led resource group program in place as well. These resource groups are amazing ways for people from diverse and differing backgrounds to learn about each others' experiences. Those groups are:
