Questions answered by Neil D. Steinberg
What three words best describe your staff? Dedicated, passionate, mission-driven.
What support programs has your company offered employees to help cope with the COVID-19 pandemic? We are very fortunate that much of our day-to-day operation lends itself to telework, and we’ve been able to provide employees with supplemental internet access and … new desktop or laptop computers and phones and other office equipment to facilitate work from home. We’ve also adapted paid-leave policies as needed.
How would you describe the culture of your workplace? Our culture is service-oriented, mission-driven and performance-focused. As Rhode Island’s community foundation, we understand the responsibility we have to provide leadership and meet the needs of all Rhode Islanders.
What role do diversity and inclusion play in your hiring and promotion decisions? Diversity and inclusion are crucial factors in our hiring and promotion decisions. The goal is for our team to reflect every community we serve, with an eye toward building trusting relationships across the diverse cross-section of people, institutions, organizations and sectors that we interact with while celebrating the cultural diversity of the state.
