The HappiLabs Mission

To improve the happiness of scientists and the quality of their research

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at HappiLabs

  • We envision a scientific community where diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) thrive. We are committed to fostering a culture where every individual feels valued, respected, and empowered to impact their community and advance science.

  • DEI is not just an initiative at HappiLabs; it is embedded in our core values. We believe diverse perspectives drive innovation and enhance our ability to support scientists. Our commitment extends beyond our internal operations, as we work to diversify the scientific supply chain by partnering with women, minority, and disabled-owned suppliers and advocating for equitable opportunities for small businesses like ours.

    • Established a DEI Committee to guide our initiatives and promote inclusive growth.

    • When hiring, we throw a wide net to ensure we identify the best talent from a wide pool of people.

    • Encourage open dialogue and create safe spaces for employees to be themselves.

    • Recognize cultural milestones with a company-wide calendar and share stories to foster understanding.

    • Regularly measure and share diversity data to track.

    • Leverage our expertise to support scientists from all backgrounds.
