The Broad Institute Response
6yHi, this is Jill Bicks, Sr. Director of HR at the Broad Institute, and I want to thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It is because of feedback like yours that we are able to address issues and make necessary changes. We are deeply committed to making Broad a comfortable, safe and collaborative environment. This includes having systems to protect against harassment and discrimination as well as having processes to respond appropriately if concerns do arise. I%E2%80%99m glad you mentioned our affinity groups! Our community has launched a number of identity-based affinity groups, with robust membership and enthusiastic institutional support. These Broadie-led groups provide forums to discuss challenging issues, career development support, and opportunities to join forces with like-minded Broadies for positive change in our community and beyond.To your point regarding employee satisfaction, our people insights team just rolled out our second annual Broad Pulse survey, which is designed to measure employee satisfaction across all areas of Broad, with the goal of offering actional feedback. This gives us the ability to work with individual groups on their development areas moving forward.As always, our mission is to accelerate the pace at which the world conquers disease, and it%E2%80%99s an exciting but demanding endeavor. We created our BroadLife office to support employees in finding a balance between their working and personal lives, and our People Development team is continuing to empower Broadies in their careers.
