Mariam Javed

Analytics Engineer

Be Yourself at Work

Celebrating Shared Identities

Soon after joining VTS, Mariam Javed learned about the company’s robust network of employee resource groups, and she and a colleague decided to launch Muslims@VTS, an ERG to connect with colleagues who share their faith. For Javed, the success of community events around Ramadan highlighted VTS’ diverse and welcoming culture. “ERGs are a great indicator of a company’s commitment to supporting employees from different backgrounds,” she said. “I finally felt like such an important part of my life didn’t have to be hidden from my colleagues or brushed under the rug at work.”

A diverse and inclusive team allows everyone to feel more supported and safe at work.

Dylan Lloyd

Manager, Product Education

Building Culture

Simple Solutions, Significant Impact

When VTS announced its plans to return to the office, Dylan Lloyd and his ERG co- lead were concerned about losing the benefit of displaying pronouns easily within digital tools, a simple but meaningful benefit for many colleagues. Soon, they developed an analog strategy — pronoun buttons to wear or display on desks. “We wanted people to still be able to display their preferred pronouns while physically being in the office, and it makes me proud to see them throughout the office when I walk into work,” he said.

I want my colleagues to feel comfortable discussing barriers they might be facing in their roles so that I can help remove those barriers.
