"The murders of George Floyd, Ahmed Aubrey, Breonna Taylor, and the disproportionate response police forces throughout our country have had to protests are unconscionable. But the truth is, these murders are the continued manifestation of a centuries-long culture in America that has devalued and marginalized people of color, through both the law and through our norms," Christine Quinn.

A Conversation with Jane Elliott: Virtual Town Hall for Win Staff
In August 2020, we held an exclusive conversation for the Win community with an internationally-known teacher, diversity trainer, and recipient of the National Mental Health Association Award for Excellence in Education, Jane Elliott. Jane first rose to prominence with her Blue Eyes/Brown Eyes Exercise in response to the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1968. This interactive Town Hall provided a space for Jane and Win staff to discuss the continued fight for civil rights, and how this relates to our organization and the current national climate. Watch the Town Hall in full here.

Under Human Capital’s Diversity & Inclusion umbrella, Win is launching the kick-off of two awareness initiatives. The first initiative, Health and Wellbeing Awareness, will promote and educate employees on healthier living; the second, Cultural Awareness, aims to show our employees how much we value, appreciate, and respect the cultural diversity they bring to the workplace.

DEI Survey
In January 2021, Win’s inaugural DEI Committee administered the organization’s first-ever DEI Survey to all Win staff. The main objective of the survey was to gain insight from our employees themselves on how they think Win is doing in key areas of DEI. Win leadership will work on incorporating the findings from the survey in its DEI initiatives.
