Thank you for your post! I am happy to hear you had a great experience working at ROI and enjoyed our many perks, benefits, opportunities to learn and the chance to work with truly kind team members.
As you mentioned, we are focused on breaking down walls across our services. Soon, we will have a better understanding of the impact of our team structure experiments and will be able to validate if these changes increased collaboration and cross-training as we expect them to. Of course, collaboration is not the only area in which we are working to relentlessly pursue excellence. We continue to refine and evolve our compensation strategy. Earlier this year, we were happy to revise our compensation philosophy, resulting in more competitive pay and an increase in guaranteed compensation.
Thank you for your suggestions on ways we can increase diversity within our teams. At ROI, we are committed to diversity, equity and inclusion, all of which are essential to fostering a culture of joy. Simply put, we are not as diverse as I believe we can and should be. And that is disappointing, especially given our focus on DEI work over the past several years (e.g., companywide and leadership trainings on inclusion, the launch of our Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging Committee, etc.). We have more work to do and we look forward to doing it.
I have personally had meaningful conversations with some of our team members where we were able to talk through things in a deeper fashion and brainstorm together on this topic. I would love to have such a dialogue with you. It sounds like perhaps you’ve moved on from your role at ROI, but either way, I would love the opportunity to talk more about this with you. If you’re open to it, please reach out to me so we can find some time to connect!
Best,
Barbara
