Internal Communications Manager

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.

Cathy Culpepper

ISR/SDR Manager

CONNECTION AND INSPIRATION

Creating new seats at the table

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.

Customer Success Manager

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.”

Diverse people coming together to create a sense of purpose, belonging and constructively challenging each other through our differences helps me find value and growth in the work that I do.
