Mediavine has taken a number of steps to champion its diversity and inclusion efforts over the last 14 months including launching a racial justice campaign (We Stand With You), holding internal town hall meetings to learn how to sensitively serve and support the BIPOC and LGBT+ communities, and diversifying hiring efforts. Additionally, the company administered two employee surveys—The Trust Index™ Survey and Best Places to Work survey by Quantum Workplace— to better understand employees and gauge wants and needs.

“It’s important for us to ensure our efforts in this space (DEI) are not just about how we look from the outside,” said Yolanda Evans, Mediavine VP People Experience & Diversity. “We are committed to this work and will continue to embrace the differences among us that make Mediavine truly feel like a family.”
