Intersectionality, Culture & Diversity

Twitter is where inclusion lives

People come to Twitter to freely express themselves, and we’ve seen this through individual Tweets and collective movements like #BlackLivesMatter, #ILookLikeAnEngineer, and #LoveWins. Just as inclusion lives on our platform, we’re striving to ensure Twitter is reflective of our users, and that our workplace and the decisions we make about it are equally inclusive. We want our different perspectives to flourish — they make us stronger and help make product decisions that will best serve our users around the world.

We're better together

Our differences makes us stronger; inclusion makes them matter. That’s why building a strong culture is important to us — once you join the flock, we have many ways for you to get involved and bring your “whole self” to your role. Our employee groups foster supportive environments for employees of various backgrounds, and have also led the charge on incredible programming and initiatives, both internal and external.

For example, @TwitterOpen helped us achieve an HRC Corporate Equality Index perfect score and our women’s groups developed our global 2016 #SheInspiresMe campaign around International Women’s Day. Through our #HeForShe team efforts, Twitter became the first corporate impact champion in tech for the UN’s global gender equality initiative. Thanks to the work of @Blackbirds, BuzzFeed named our custom fist Twitter emoji the best part of Black History Month, and our parents group helped expand our policy so all new parents can get up to 20 weeks of paid parental leave. Our technical women team up with programs like Girls Who Code to teach a new generation of curious and passionate thinkers.
