An inclusive environment helps GitLab retain talent often marginalized in tech. “Learning about Black team members' experiences is the first step toward making them feel included,” Satcher, a member of the Black@GitLab Team Member Resource Group, said. Black employees are invited to monthly meetings with the CEO to offer ideas about what works and what needs improvement in the workplace. Satcher has found leadership’s adaptability personally beneficial. With the company’s support, she has spoken at the Black is Tech conference and mentored three women who have recently received promotions.
