As difficult as this is to read, we treat all feedback as an opportunity to learn and grow. We’re saddened to learn that this has been your experience, but we appreciate you sharing your perspective. We certainly don’t want you (or anyone else) who feels this way to remain silent. While we don’t agree with your characterization of RAND, your perspective is important. We’re working to create and sustain a culture where everyone can thrive and feel that they belong. As our leadership continues working forward on diversity, equity, and inclusion, we hope you’ll consider joining one of our employee resource groups, the DEI staff advisory council, or getting involved in our DEI efforts in another way. If you’re willing to talk about this or share more, please reach out to your manager, someone in HR, or call the Report Line, our anonymous hotline for those who are not able to or are not comfortable with utilizing the usual channels. (Search “report line” on the intranet.)
