Not Just at all - Research Staff Member JUST Capital Employee Review

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I am deeply committed to JUST Capital and to our hard working and passionate staff, and take this feedback very seriously. We are a young organization with a vital mission. We recognize that things are not perfect, but we are always learning and evolving, and striving to get better in what we do and how we do it. I acknowledge that we are trying to do big things with limited resources at this stage, and that the demands can be intense sometimes. But I believe that this is the case with most startups, especially a small nonprofit that is trying to have such an outsized and powerful impact. It’s not for everyone, that is true. But we’ve already achieved some great things as a three-year old organization, have a stable leadership team, and are working more closely as a cohesive unit than ever before, as evidenced by an incredibly strong, collaborative launch of our 2017 Rankings of America’s Most JUST Companies. Beyond the powerful research itself, some of the outputs included a sophisticated new website experience; a high-profile event with 400+ leaders from the worlds of business, philanthropy and finance; and the December cover story in Forbes Magazine with additional coverage in The Washington Post, Bloomberg, Fast Company, Vice, and Mad Money. Plus the impending launch of an ETF. Fundraising is always a challenge, but we’re proud to share that we’ve recently secured several significant multi-year grants that support not only operational expenses, but the expansion of our research around key issues like income inequality, environmental impact, and community health. We will, of course, continue to hone and refine our strategic plan and theory of change in response to new market opportunities and realities. Above all, we will continue to invest in the team, and establish a working environment that is just and empowering for everyone. This is a journey, not a destination. I’m personally proud of how far we’ve come in exploring long-term challenges/opportunities as a team through more open, active dialogue, and in fostering a strong, results-oriented culture. If you have additional questions, feel free to contact me.
