"Be a place of bridges, not borders." -dms Diversity can enrich lives, strengthen communities, and drive innovation. It can also create a sense of belonging for people from all backgrounds. Global Diversity Awareness Day hits a special note for us. Being a completely virtual business since 2009 and keeping our team in flux for over 10 years requires a level of intention to the individual person just as much as in-person office settings. Using virtual tools and community-building systems to stay connected as a diverse team across 5 countries we believe intention requires more than simply 'checking in'. From celebrating world holidays to sending videos of our everyday lives, Octane keeps awareness of global diversity at its core. Octane strives to embody a realm of belonging. #morethangraphics #globaldiversityawarenessday
