What Does The Alchemist DEI Philosophy Look Like?
The Alchemist DEI philosophy believes in creating a culture of acceptance and a space for difference. We believe it’s important to nurture compassion, curiosity and courage and support a growth mindset where all individuals believe their talents can be developed. At Alchemist we appreciate that conversations around DEI can be uncomfortable, so we create safe spaces for conversations through contracting and openness. Our approach is to ‘never mind the buzzwords’, as we are all people and can talk to each other like humans.
