‘I Feel At Home’

At GumGum, inclusion doesn’t simply mean acknowledging diverse voices. It involves giving team members the resources, training and support they need to embrace differences, recognize their unconscious biases and express themselves. “We believe in cultivating an environment where our team members can bring their authentic, whole selves to work,” said CEO Phil Schraeder. Team members have access to authentic programming and ERGs, and they’re encouraged to shape the culture themselves — whether that’s through spearheading an event or connecting with their peers outside of work. All of these efforts make it possible for employees to feel like they belong; a sentiment aptly captured by one team member’s statement: “I feel at home at GumGum.”

TAKE THE LEAD

Be empowered to drive change

Since joining GumGum about two years ago, Kevin Nguyen has faced complex challenges — and overcome them. This emphasis on learning led him to join the VOICE Coalition, which has enabled him to participate in exciting projects and spearhead events. Nguyen has also taken part in hackathons, where he has pitched ideas to the executive team. “I feel a strong sense of belonging through the connections I’ve made, and I know that my passion for continuing to grow both as a solutions engineer and an individual within the company will be well-received,” Nguyen said.

Embrace diversity and cultivate community

Leticia Ortiz-Morazan

People Operations Specialist

A first-generation American, Leticia Ortiz-Morazan hasn’t always felt like she belonged in the tech industry — but at GumGum, she feels right at home. Ortiz-Morazan said the company offers a safe space for employees to share their voices while embracing diverse heritages, backgrounds and life experiences. Her participation in listening sessions and events held by the company’s Latinx ERG, HOLA, has made her feel even prouder to be a Latina. “GumGum allows me to show up every day as my true and authentic self and actively hears my voice and accepts it with open arms,” Ortiz-Morazan said.

For the first time, I’ve found a genuine community that celebrates me.

Flemming’s involvement with the VOICE Coalition has allowed her to share her story, find a sense of community and stress the importance of acknowledging neurodiversity. “This shared sense of trust and respect is why I love that I belong here at GumGum,” she said.
