“Participating in the Career Compass program helped me build upon my passion for increasing BIPOC employee advocacy and engagement at WE. Along with the opportunity to expand my network and collaborate with leaders at the agency, the program provided me with knowledge on how to handle difficult conversations, become a more persuasive communicator, and be a more effective leader.”
– Danny Gee, Account Manager
“As a participant in the BIPOC Mentorship program, I gained valuable insights into how I can navigate my career development journey. Learning side-by-side with my mentor has been one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve had at WE so far.”
– Selena Roberts, Account Executive
“The WE Pride LGBTQIA+ mentorship program helped me embrace my identity in the workplace, gain confidence, and navigate the challenges and opportunities of being a queer professional. It taught me how to leverage my diversity as a strength, not a weakness, and how to be a mentor and a leader for others in the community,”
– Andrew Scheinthal, Account Manager
Mentorship
Professional mentorship is an important aspect of supporting employees’ career aspirations and growth. WE’s mentorship programs for BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ employees provide access to a supportive network of executive mentors who offer knowledge, encouragement, and professional development support.
Leadership Development
Career Compass is an immersive, 12-week group coaching program for our Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) Account Managers and Account Directors. It is designed to cultivate our next generation of leaders by developing the skills they need to navigate and grow their careers.
Training
Providing robust opportunities for learning and development is a cornerstone of WE’s culture. Our employees can tap into a variety of innovative training courses designed to help our people be more inclusive leaders and teammates. These range from an interactive DEI training featuring a framework for having “rich” and effective conversations through the lens of Race, Identity, Culture and Heritage, and our small, multi-week Conversations Circles where employees can practice these skills. There are also regular speaker series and panel discussions where external experts discuss relevant topics — from social justice and fostering intergenerational communications to celebrating cultural moments.
