Why IDEA? – Project Ascendance

“A diverse organization will out-think and out-perform a homogeneous organization every single time.“
Alan G. Lafley, Former CEO of Procter & Gamble

Designing an inclusive, diverse, equitable, and accessible workplace culture means creating and nurturing an environment where all employees, regardless of gender, race, age, education, disability, religion, sexual orientation, background, or family situation, feel valued, respected, and able to succeed.

Why your company needs to be ‘IDEA’ driven

In today’s workplace, diverse teams in the right conditions yield the most innovative solutions. Organizations promoting inclusive and diverse cultures are proven to be higher performing, more agile, and better positioned to attract and retain top talent.

At Artemis Connection, we believe it is the responsibility of each one of us to make the world a better place, and responsibility extends to companies and corporations of all sizes, ours included. This is why we’ve built giving back into our business model.

Our 4.5% Promise

Each month, we dedicate 4.5% of our time to the sole purpose of changing lives, communities, and organizations. We do this through pro bono work, volunteering, and board involvement. We also donate 4.5% of our profits each year.

We’ve helped many organizations including, Women’s Funding Alliance, the Superintendent Roundtable, FIRST Robotics Washington, One Love, Junior Achievement, Financial Education Public Private Partnership, Western Washington University College of Business and Economics, and iUrbanTeen, and many more. Artemis is a champion of making the world a place where everyone can reach their full potential. We subsidized work for public health clinics and other nonprofits in need of help without the means to hire us, led camps teaching social-emotional skills to preschoolers, and built tools/resources to help improve inclusion and diversity in communities across the country. In addition to our strategic work on the systemic issues, we roll up our sleeves and volunteer in our communities.
