True change happens when individuals feel confident enough to speak up against the injustices they see happening in their everyday lives. At Fairware, this starts with our team of passionate, introspective, and determined changemakers. By equipping our employees with knowledge about unconscious bias and institutionalized racism; and providing resources and tools to tackle these issues, we’re confident they’ll be champions for change.
