Commitment to Equity

Professional Data Analysts is committed to becoming an anti-racist company and positively impacting our community and the communities we serve. It’s an ongoing and never-ending process that must be integrated into everything we do, from fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace to promoting health equity with our partners.

As part of our commitment to equity, we’re taking the following actions:

  • Recognize the pervasiveness of racism, explicitly call attention to the existence of white supremacy in our work and make a conscious effort to interrupt bias and challenge systems of oppression.
  • Identify and support opportunities to coach, mentor, and develop individuals new or unfamiliar to our fields, especially members of marginalized communities.
  • Continue and increase our support for BIPOC, women, LGBTQI+, veteran-owned, and Minnesota-based businesses.
