SingleStore marked Juneteenth by observing a minute of silence, scheduling programming related to systemic racism and the Black experience in America, and establishing it as an annual company holiday. Employees were invited to learn about the need for better treatment of Black Americans and participate in discussions on documentaries, films, and podcasts. The company also planned a virtual STEM/STEAM Day event for underserved children with co-sponsors Cisco and the National Coalition of 100 Black Women-Silicon Valley Chapter. SingleStore's Diversity & Inclusion efforts aim to address barriers people of color face in job opportunities, and the company is working to hire individuals who can bring diverse perspectives and approaches to the table. Research shows that resumes with names like Jamal or LaToya are more likely to be rejected than those with names like Michael or Lisa, highlighting the challenges people of color face during the recruiting process. To mitigate these challenges, SingleStore's hiring process includes asking questions about skill sets, culture fit, and how to bring new perspectives to the table. The company recognizes that conscious efforts toward diversity drive innovation and increase creativity.
