Twilio (NYSE: TWLO), the leading cloud communications platform,
today announced the company has been named one of the 2019 Best
Workplaces for Diversity by Great Place to Work and FORTUNE. The
Best Workplaces for Diversity are companies that are working
thoughtfully to create inclusive cultures for women, people of
color, LGBTQ people, employees who are 55 or older, and people who
have disabilities.
To determine the list, Great Place to Work analyzed the
responses to an anonymous, 60-question survey. The survey asked
employees who self-identified as part of an underrepresented
population about their day-to-day work experience, including the
level of trust, pride, and camaraderie they experience in their
work lives. Survey responses were compared to those provided by
employees from majority groups. All told, Great Place to Work
evaluated survey responses from more than 4.8 million employees at
various organizations across the country.
"We are honored to be recognized among the 2019 Best Workplaces
for Diversity,” said Jeff Lawson, co-founder and chief executive
officer at Twilio. “We are grateful for the acknowledgement, but
recognize we have much work ahead of us. Building an inclusive
workplace takes thoughtful and consistent commitment across the
entire organization, and we are committed to investing in programs
that grow a culture of equity, equality, and belonging.”
The Best Workplaces for Diversity list is one of a series of
rankings by Great Place to Work and FORTUNE based on anonymous
employee feedback from Great Place to Work-Certified™
organizations. The Best Workplaces for Diversity stand out for
creating great workplaces for all employees, regardless of their
personal characteristics.
“Building great workplaces for all is not only the right thing
to do – it’s also a critical way leaders build business value,”
said Michael C. Bush, chief executive officer of Great Place to
Work. “In our study of nearly 2,000 companies we found that key
metrics related to equity and inclusion not only drive stronger
company innovation, but also predict whether companies will thrive
or stumble during a recession.”
