Scion Technology Diversity & Inclusion Committee
Joshua Steele – Chair
I am proud to say that the growth and impact of the Scion Staffing Diversity and Inclusion committee is having a multiplier effect on the interest and passion that our team brings to our work and clients. With this work, there is an inherent, wide spectrum of where peoples’ interest and passion is.

Embracing diversity, inclusion, representation, and an overall sense of belonging can significantly change perceptions of the world around you. Letting diversity and inclusion, and belonging be a foundational part of how you approach others in your personal and professional life creates an environment that people want to be a part of.
Sarah Kurhajetz
There are many benefits of incorporating inclusion strategies into the workplace, but for me, the most important is creating a sense of belonging for employees. For employees to do their best work and to expand their professional capacity, it’s critical that they feel a sense of belonging with their colleagues. With a sense of belonging comes a feeling of trust and safety. When trust and safety are present, employees feel comfortable asking for help, taking risks, making mistakes (and learning from them), as well as providing support to their co-workers.
