Since Slack was founded, six years ago, we’ve been committed to embedding diversity, engagement and belonging (DEB) in our hiring practices and workplace culture. This is central to our company values, and we continue to prioritize these efforts. Since our last report, a lot has changed: We became a public company and grew to more than 2,000 employees. The world has also changed, and, as companies around the globe rapidly transition to remote work, we remain committed to ensuring that the diversity of our customers is reflected in Slack’s own teams. Globally, women⁴ constitute 44. 9% of our workforce, down from 45. 8% (–0. 9 pts. ) from our last report, in May 2019. 33. 4% of people in technical roles are women, down from 34. 6% (–1. 2 pts. ) last year.
