Blis’ diversity, equity, inclusion
& belonging initiative
What is Rise?
In June 2020, Blis launched its diversity and inclusion committee called Rise, with a mission to create a powerful culture of inclusivity and belonging at Blis that:
Embraces
diversity
Encourages
people to bring their authentic selves to work
Educates
everyone at Blis about matters of equality
Engages
with the wider industry community to drive social change
Employee training and education
All employee training and education on matters including allyship, DEIB language and celebrating and honouring cultural and religious observances take place during our weekly company meetings and at internal events.
Diversity demographics
Blis is committed to balancing the transparency of its employee diversity stats alongside the right to privacy of its employees. Our current gender split is 44% female (121) and 56% male (155) across the company.
We are truly inclusive and diverse
- and that's not just our opinion
