TaskRabbit, the San Francisco-based human cloud company that allows consumers to contract out individual tasks online, announced its plan to increase diversity at TaskRabbit and within the tech industry as the first company to present its African American Diversity Inclusion Plan in conjunction with the Congressional Black Caucus’ CBC TECH 2020 initiative.

The Congressional Black Caucus launched CBC TECH 2020 in May 2015 to increase African American inclusion at all levels of the technology industry.

TaskRabbit’s African American Diversity Inclusion Plan consists of four primary initiatives focused on generating change and increasing the number of blacks in the technology industry:

1. Increase representation of African American talent in the company from 11% to 13% by the end of 2016 in order to reflect the population in the US.
2. Retain African American employees by developing a supportive, diversity-friendly culture.
3. Increase awareness and educate employees on the importance of diversity and understanding unconscious bias to support the recruitment and retention of African Americans.
4. Strengthen awareness around the importance of increasing diversity within the technology industry by sharing the initiatives and results of their efforts with the public.

Stacy Brown-Philpot, one of the few female black CEOs in Silicon Valley, leads TaskRabbit’s initiative to increase diversity in tech. Brown-Philpot took over the CEO role in April from founder Leah Busque.

“Building a strong, diverse and inclusive community is key to any sector’s growth, and teaming up with CBC TECH 2020 is a natural step for TaskRabbit to re-confirm our commitment to being an open, forward-thinking and innovative organization in Silicon Valley,” Brown-Philpot said. “We’re proud of our efforts around diversity where our approach has always been to partner and build relationships with groups that can help us connect with underrepresented candidates, mentor those candidates once they join the team, and support our employees to maintain an active presence in the community.”
