Reactie van Wikimedia Foundation
8yThank you so much for your review. We're sorry to hear about some of your experiences during your time at the Wikimedia Foundation, and you bring up some very valuable points of critical feedback and areas for improvement. I wanted to respond to a couple of specific points of feedback here, with the understanding that that we will bring up all points of feedback with the appropriate stakeholders.
I did want to highlight one area of improvement that has been of significant focus for us over the past year: diversity and inclusion. This is something that’s of critical importance to us as an organization. To reflect a global movement, the Foundation also needs to reflect a workforce of people with diverse experiences. Right now, we're currently in the middle of running an inclusion survey to better understand and measure our progress in creating a diverse place of work. We also consistently plan and host diversity recruiting events, encourage and support staff in creating various resource groups for support in building an inclusive organization, and more. We understand that change doesn't come overnight, and we wholeheartedly believe that listening to the voices of staff and our community of volunteers will allow us to continue to improve and better serve the movement.
