From Tenshey, Inc. CEO & Founder Maggie Chan Jones
One of the pillars of advancing diversity in the workplace, Tenshey’s mission, is to celebrate all backgrounds, as well as bring awareness to the varying challenges and roadblocks each individual might face due to their background, as they enter and advance in their careers. Black History Month is celebrated each February and the 2023 theme, “Black Resistance” focuses on some of the roadblocks that Black Americans have fought against in historical, social, and workplace settings. Coqual discusses some of these roadblocks as well as suggestions for moving forward. Below are the words of Valentina Arecy, where she speaks on her experience as a Black woman working at Tenshey, where she helps other companies advance their DEI culture at work.
In my role as a Customer Program Manager, I have the privilege to collaborate with organizations that are committed to making a difference and creating a culture of DEIBA. This confirms my belief that a change is brewing, and the black community is being empowered, recognized, and have a voice at Fortune 500 companies. I am proud that I am an enabler in the process, and I am helping my community find representation and recognition.
As a company that is dedicated to advancing diversity in the workplace, Tenshey’s value for DEIBA starts from within. Here at Tenshey, we believe inspiring and aspiring an inclusive culture and committing to one another helps us succeed. On a daily basis, I build relationships with clients, my colleagues, and coaches from various backgrounds to achieve our common goal of advancing diversity in the workplace. I enjoy working with Tenshey for several reasons, one being that it is an all -women team.
As a professional who thrives in environments that value and foster collaboration, equity, and inclusion, I am grateful to be part of a team that aligns with my personal value system. Being part of this diverse team allows me to be creative, reflective, and innovative.
