In the past, businesses may have attempted to use a one-size-fits-all mentality to inform policies, strategies and structures […]
In 2020, we saw a surge in companies strengthening their messaging and actions around diversity, equity and inclusion amidst the movement for racial justice. For some organizations, this seemed to trail off as protests slowed and news cycles changed. But at Rocket, we are standing firm-footed in this moment to reaffirm our commitment to DEI now and […]
