Diversity, inclusion & belonging

We get the best from everyone

"Diversity is having a seat at the table; inclusion is having a voice; and belonging is having that voice be heard."

In addition to our strong personal feelings for a better future of work, we believe there is a strong correlation between highly diverse teams and performance + creativity. Having diverse perspectives on a problem enriches all perspectives on it. We therefore see diversity and inclusion as a prerequisite for delivering great solutions at our customers.

Some Definitions

We feel it is important to have a common understanding of what these terms are.

Diversity refers to the characteristics and traits that make people unique and different. While there are an infinite number of differences in humans, most people subconsciously define diversity by categories including gender, race and age.

Inclusion refers to the behaviors and social norms that make people feel welcome. It includes everyone being treated fairly and with respect. It ensures that everyone has equal access to opportunities and is able to contribute fully to the company’s success.

Belonging refers to the feeling that makes people feel part of the community. It includes the feeling of being heard and valued.

We are aware that diversity, inclusion and belonging efforts are a lifelong work. It will always be an ongoing priority for us. We are aware that we will make mistakes, but know that the important thing is that we learn from them.

An Inclusive Place to Work

We are by no means perfect but we are committed to acting with positive intent and pushing ourselves to improve. We will always want to learn and improve our culture to make it as inclusive as possible.

This is not just a statement for us. Here are some of the things we've implemented so far:

• Flexible remote policies - so we have access to a huge, global hiring pool.

• Asynchronous and transparent communication - so our teams can work together effectively on their own schedule no matter their location or time zone.

• Unlimited vacation policy with a minimum expected time off that allows you to schedule your work around your life.

• Multi-channel sourcing for recruitment in order to encourage underrepresented groups of people to apply - so we are meeting with a balanced group of applicants for every role.

• Collaborative employee handbook - anyone can contribute to this handbook through a pull request. If we have overlooked anything in our policy, our employees or anyone visiting this handbook can easily request changes.
