Committed to reflecting our communities
At Hinge Health, we’re committed to maintaining a work environment that reflects the communities we serve and where we live and work.
Our commitment to DEI starts at the top with our founders, including our CEO who is one of the few Latino CEOs in a startup company. Through the diversity of thought, experience and insight of our employees, we strive to create an inclusive slate of musculoskeletal products and services that can reach the most people to do the most good.
As part of our commitment to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI), we’ve taken key steps to infuse diversity, equity and inclusion into everything we do including:
Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)
Sponsor eight employee resource groups (ERGs) where our employees lead projects and initiatives that provide support to our employees and give back to the community.
DEI council
Solicit regular feedback from our DEI Council that represents different parts of the business on how we can make interactions with our People, Product, Partnerships & Participants (coaches & users) more inclusive and equitable.
Inclusive by design
We embrace inclusive design in the development of our product; our goal is to create a product that can be used by the most people to do the most good by mitigating MSK pain and preventing unneeded surgeries.
Invest at all levels, including the top
Hired a Head of DEI to work with employees direction on DEI matters and ensure that we are leveraging best practices for DEI in how we treat each other and how we develop our product & services.
Start with job postings
Proactively review our recruiting process to ensure job postings use inclusive language and that we are innovative in our searches so we can find the highly qualified candidates that are representative of our diverse user base, we need to sustain our high performing business.
Life-long learners
Provide quarterly DEI training on a variety of topics including unconscious bias, allyship, unbiased performance management & inclusive leadership for all employees.
Actions, not just words
Provide scholarship funding for underrepresented groups through a grant to Duke University’s Health Coaching Program.
“We are committed to creating a workplace where everyone feels they belong and believes in providing equity in MSK pain solutions to those who need them.”
