Inbound & Down

Diversity, Inclusion + Belonging at HubSpot ft. Katelyn Craine and Melissa Obleada

A strong and genuine culture is one of HubSpot's true differentiators. They work diligently to build and facilitate that culture, and it shows. The company was recently voted Best Place to Work in 2020 by the business review site Glassdoor. Why is their culture so strong? They work to make the HubSpot culture intrinsically diverse and inclusive so as to foster a sense of belonging among everyone.

Melissa Obleada and Katelyn Craine, who both serve as Diversity & Inclusion Program mangers, join us to talk about the history of Diversity & Inclusion, or D&I, at HubSpot, the tangible benefits of prioritizing D&I and offer tips on developing such a strategy at your company.
