Sharethrough Recognizes Indigenous Cultures

Tiohtià:ke/Montréal

We would like to begin by acknowledging that Sharethrough's Headquarters are located on unceded Indigenous lands.

The Kanien’kehá:ka Nation is recognized as the custodians of the lands and waters on which we gather today. Tiohtià:ke/Montréal is historically known as a gathering place for many First Nations. Today, it is home to a diverse population of Indigenous and other peoples. We respect the continued connections with the past, present and future in our ongoing relationships with Indigenous and other peoples within the Montreal community.

Lenape/New York City

We would like to begin by acknowledging that New York City sits upon the ancestral and traditional lands of the Lenape people.

The Lenape, also known as the Delaware, were the original inhabitants of this region, living on these lands for thousands of years before the arrival of European settlers. We recognize the enduring presence and resilience of the Lenape Nation, who continue to honor their rich cultural heritage and maintain their connection to this land. We pay our respects to their elders, both past and present, and express gratitude for their stewardship of these territories throughout generations.

A Closer Look at the Numbers—

Sharethrough Workplace Demographics

Demographic Ethnicity Diversity

The way we treat identity is increasingly misaligned with the complex ways employees — as well as customers, clients, and other stakeholders — see themselves.

At Sharethrough, we aim to create a diverse culture of individuals with different interests, strengths and identities. We have taken concrete steps to diversify our workforce, notably by conducting culture bias training for all hiring managers and recruiters.

Demographic Ethnicity

Gender Equality

Studies have shown that companies with gender-diverse leadership can outperform their competition. Equality and gender diversity are also linked to attracting and retaining talent.

Women account for a large proportion of the workforce, and this should be scaled to all positions, whether entry-level or executive, throughout the company. Sharethrough aims to improve upon gender equality, particularly in the adtech space. We are working hard to fill positions of all levels by minimizing gender bias.

Poll & Survey to Employees

When it comes to DEIB, there are endless options for actions you can take in regards to generating a positive work environment.

Every year, we ask employees what they want Sharethrough as a company to focus on, to make sure we were addressing the needs of employees and steering the ship in the right direction. After compiling the results from our surveys, we put our action plan in place and started tackling important items, one after another.

Step 2: Organization Practices & Awareness

Inclusive Verbiage for Job Descriptions

People from underrepresented backgrounds tend to apply only to jobs that match 100% of their qualifications. We removed ‘’nice-to-have’’ qualifications and added a blurb to encourage all to apply, even if they don’t have the qualifications!

Run Job Descriptions through a Gender Decoder

We do our best to identify and eliminate any gender bias or language that may be unintentionally present in the description. This promotes equal opportunities for all genders and creates a more inclusive hiring process.

Transparency, Awareness & Progression

In the months and years to come, we are determined to remain transparent with Sharethrough employees, vigilant and aware of the direction that we are leading our company in, and pushing progress forward.

Transparency: Quarterly and yearly updates for Sharethroughers on our progression towards a diverse & inclusive environment.

Awareness: Frequently revisiting our DEI game plan, and remaining up-to-date on DEI issues and best practices in the workplace.

To Reach a Fully Diverse, Equal & Inclusive Company

We believe there is always work to be done for DEIB - topics evolve, and it is impossible to tackle it all in a set period of time. In order for an environment to be truly DEIB, efforts must be taken day after day, month after month, year after year. Sharethrough commits on making continuous efforts to make this environment one where people can bring their whole selves to work. We do not believe in success without it.
