From values to action: when the team drives social impact

In this text, the author shares their experience during the civil unrest following George Floyd's murder and how it led to a deeper connection with Bernadette, the new CEO. They discuss the importance of being vocal about social initiatives and values in order to attract like-minded team members and inspire others to act. The author highlights several social responsibility programs at Algolia, such as their referral program that donates to non-profits instead of offering cash incentives, donating to Women Who Code during events, matching employee donations to organizations fighting against policies that violate their values, and supporting open source projects with monthly donations. The author emphasizes the importance of these initiatives coming directly from passionate team members and encourages suggestions for future programs.
