Coal Creative—where you have the space to be authentically you and make a difference while you’re at it.

honoring inclusion:

recognizing our differences and unique perspectives

Coal Creative doesn’t just welcome diversity, equity, and inclusion: we embrace it. As a group of innovators, creatives, thinkers, and doers, it’s important that everyone feels seen, heard, and valued. We work actively to foster an environment where every team member can both act authentically and speak openly.

our commitment

Inclusiveness is at the core of who we are. We’re dedicated to:

  • Providing a safe, nurturing space that celebrates diversity
  • Promoting an open dialogue about each department’s and team member’s needs, ideas, and concerns
  • Weighing feedback through intentional channels and touchpoints

our steps for making a difference

The world is constantly evolving—and so are we. Moving forward, we’re devoted to:

  • Incorporating inclusive language throughout our internal and onboarding documents
  • Evaluating our existing policies on a routine basis—and updating or enacting fresh policies to ensure our team members feel supported
  • Continuing to create opportunities for honest feedback through quarterly team meetings, annual check-ins, and informal encounters—both one-on-one and in group settings

valuing culture:

our human-first philosophy

Collaboration is the heart and soul of Coal Creative. Our strengths shine brightest when we connect, communicate, and cooperate with truth and authenticity—internally and externally. And we’ve cultivated a fun-loving environment that leans on learning, growth, and the flexibility to thrive.


Supporting our crew’s mental health is essential to creating this environment. We maintain a nourishing space where our teammates can show up as they are and who they are—and know we will be better as a whole because of it.

our commitment

We’re first and foremost humans supporting other humans. We’re intent on:

  • Promoting collaboration on every level
  • Prioritizing and cherishing relationships
  • Championing humanity and vulnerability, which drive the creativity behind our collaborations

our steps for making a difference

Coal Creative is committed to sustaining a compassionate, accepting workplace. Looking toward the future, we’re dedicated to:

  • Protecting and promoting our collaborative nature through brainstorming meetings
  • Scheduling and appreciating team-building opportunities
  • Encouraging team members to maximize their time off to rejuvenate—and, when feasible, to request mental health days more frequently and proactively 
  • Facilitating an empathetic space that paves the way for openness by asking questions first—and pushing blame and assumptions aside

inspiring authentic engagement

where every voice is heard

“Transparency” isn’t just a word to us—it’s a principle. It’s an action. Team members come to work as their real selves, which sets the stage for collaboration. We constantly strive to offer feedback with tact and grace. To be fully present with one another. To treasure unique approaches and different perspectives. 

 

Our inclusive culture and collaborative spirit extend well beyond our office walls. We provide our teammates with ways to connect with the community through opportunities that align with their passions—just as we engage with the community to uplift who we are and where we’re from.

our commitment

Authentic engagement is a muscle that needs to be worked. To preserve it, we:

  • Believe in the power of bringing our full selves to work
  • Prioritize flexibility and reframing when we hit a roadblock or disagreement
  • Foster involvement and engagement within our local communities

our steps for making a difference

Complacent is one thing we’re not. We’re perpetually on the hunt for ways to improve and will:

  • Share feedback and praise in real time via internal communication channels and our feedback survey
  • Offer dedicated time for team members to participate in community events and pro bono work

We’re curious problem solvers who consistently seek out new collaborations and relationships while always keeping an eye on product quality. We’re also forward thinkers who never stop refining our approach to business and collaboration.

our commitment

We stay ahead of the curve by:

  • Remaining hungry for personal and professional growth
  • Appreciating the chance to learn, change, and progress
  • Subscribing to a visionary mindset

 

our steps for making a difference
