DEI AT TEGUS
Stronger Together
The unparalleled growth of Tegus is only made possible by the richness and diversity of our perspectives.
Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Our DEI Vision is for Tegus to be demographically representative of the city of Chicago, home of our global headquarters, by 2025. In order to accomplish this, we have created interim goals to ensure accountability and help measure our progress as a company.
All Tegus employees understand how to support DEI efforts across the organization
Employees are surveyed quarterly on topics including manager support, fairness, psychological safety, and fit and belonging. The leadership team addresses concerns at monthly All Hands meetings and outlines ongoing corrective actions and support measures where appropriate.
Everyone at Tegus feels welcomed, valued and comfortable sharing their full identities
Post-onboarding, semi-annual engagement, and exit interview surveys each play a part in measuring the comfort and confidence of employees throughout their tenure. Our goal is culture add vs. culture fit.
All employees are aware of opportunities for growth and promotion and what it takes to achieve them
Managers are responsible for working with direct reports on concrete goal setting and routinely checking in on these goals over time. Career paths and potential opportunities within teams are transparent and made a part of ongoing manager check-ins.
We strive to hire and retain at least 30% of staff who are members of underrepresented groups in tech
According to surveyed current employees, Tegus is already an attractive place to work for individuals from underrepresented groups — we've built practices into our recruiting processes and developed partnerships with HBCUs and other groups to help increase the diversity of our team.
In addition to these goals, we've partnered with numerous organizations and external experts to help us expand our learning. Since Q4 of 2020, Tegus is proud to have hosted quarterly DEI training sessions for our employees to learn more about building an inclusive and equitable culture and help us achieve our ambitious goals.
