Candid Conversations

There are plenty of ways—big and small—that you can take action, whether you’re a leader at your company, a people manager, or an individual contributor who wants to make a difference. In this Candid Conversation, we will discuss some of the most frequently asked questions about allyship and anti-racism including how to fight against racism in your daily life and at work.

Our Employee Resource Groups, or ERGs, play a critical role in driving business initiatives, supporting our employees through development and engagement opportunities, and representing Sunrun in our local communities.

Since the launch of our 6 ERGs in September of 2020, we’ve hosted 8 events and webinars; celebrated holidays, discussed difficult topics, and promoted opportunities. We’ve had tremendous participation and support for the programs hosted so far, and we’re excited to explore what’s ahead.

Words can be magic or poison depending on how you use them. Understanding language and how it can impact those around you can make a big difference in people’s experiences. Communication and idioms can also differ between various cultures, so it’s important to understand the experiences of others. Join us in a conversation that helps us understand different perspectives so we can better use language that creates more inclusive environments.

Spending time with family during the holidays can be stressful.

This year we’re battling a global pandemic, civil unrest, and to top it all off, it’s an election year! It’s safe to assume that some difficult conversations might be unavoidable. We all want to feel heard and valued, and when you’re catching up with old friends and family, you probably want to have these critical conversations in a productive way, and without damaging relationships.

Join us for this Month’s Candid Conversation: Home for the Holidays.

We will discuss ways to keep your cool during these stressful times, participate in conversations with an open mind with honest intentions, and set boundaries for your physical and mental health.

In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, we're dedicating this episode to mental health and illnesses.

In this Candid Conversation, you'll learn about, and hear from fellow Sunrunners about their experiences with mental health illnesses and disorders, stereotypes and stigmas, and where and how to find help and resources that are free and available to you.
