Infinite Colors: Supporting Neuro-Diverse Experiences in the Workplace
Infinite Colors is an employee resource group at Cockroach Labs that aims to raise awareness about neurodiversity in the workplace. Neurodiversity refers to variations in the human brain regarding sociability, learning, attention, mood and other mental functions. The group provides a safe space for employees to share their experiences and challenges related to neurodiversity, fostering recognition and accommodation for different ways of being human on the workplace. Infinite Colors also maintains a corporate library of resources that includes guides and tips on how to optimize one's workplace, develop positive work relationships, advocate for one's diversity, avoid burnout, and guide peers and managers towards understanding and accommodation. The group has received executive sponsorship from Peter Mattis, CTO of Cockroach Labs, and some of its members have senior roles in the organization.
