Redgate Software’s commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion is holistic and responsive, and Lucy Boyes has been involved in that journey since joining the company in 2011. “Advocating for change wasn’t easy at first, but the process of doing so helped build the necessary courage to persist,” they said. And company leaders listened. Today, Boyes is proud to be part of a culture that allows their colleagues to share their identities in whatever ways they choose. “I have a seat at the table, the opportunity to shape our strategy and approach and the chance to be a voice that consistently supports Redgate’s diverse community when interacting with our senior leaders,” they said.

VISIBILITY AND SUPPORT
Fostering inclusion through daily practices
“As one of Redgate’s senior communicators and one of a small number of transgender employees, I field questions or concerns that coworkers might not be comfortable bringing to someone else,” Lucy Boyes said. “It never stops being an honor.” Beyond individual connections, Boyes has been able to support changes around trans inclusion and visibility by incorporating gender-neutral bathrooms in Redgate’s new headquarters and building a culture of inclusivity through the practice of sharing pronouns. “I’m grateful to demonstrate that Redgate is a safe place to be gender-nonconforming,” they said.

I care deeply about making the workplace a better environment for the humans who do the work, including creating a culture where everyone is free to bring their entire selves to work if they choose.

Creating new seats at the table
Cathy Culpepper
ISR/SDR Manager
When Cathy Culpepper began her career, she found herself excluded from conversations and decisions based on her gender or race. That experience has informed how she shows up for her Redgate colleagues today. “It’s important to be the person in the room who advocates for a more accepting and welcoming future for all,” she said. One part of building that future is creating mentorship pathways to support growth. According to Culpepper, “If we aren’t hiring diverse team members, we don’t have the ability to promote and create mentors to whom future team members can look up.”
There are many benefits to diverse teams — more creative problem solving, more empathy toward peers and customers and a positive impact on revenue. I see all of these qualities on my team.
INFINITE POSSIBILITY
Finding purpose in supporting diversity
Every day, Josh Byus strives to fulfill his personal philosophy: “Infinite diversity in infinite combinations.” Star Trek fans may recognize the quote — the foundation of Vulcan belief in the beauty and possibility of celebrating difference. And according to Byus, Redgate found a way to do exactly that at the recent Level Up internal conference by highlighting a panel of some of the newest and youngest Redgaters. “They came from different cultures and locations around the world,” he said. “Their presentation offered new ideas to tangibly lift up those climbing ahead in their careers.”
