SILICON SLOPES, Utah,
June 28, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
Pluralsight, Inc. (NASDAQ: PS), the enterprise technology learning
platform, today joins a growing coalition pledging to advance
diversity and inclusion in the workplace. Joining more than 450
CEOs that have come together for the CEO Action for Diversity &
Inclusion™ initiative, Pluralsight co-founder and CEO Aaron Skonnard has signed the pledge committing
himself and Pluralsight to advance diversity and inclusion in
the workplace. Skonnard is the first CEO of a Utah-based company to sign the pledge.
Organizations joining the initiative are taking a step towards
bringing about positive change. By signing the pledge, Pluralsight
will implement three core commitments: 1) Continue to cultivate a
workplace that supports open dialogue on complex, and sometimes
difficult, conversations about diversity and inclusion; 2)
Implement and expand unconscious bias education; and 3) Share
successful—as well as unsuccessful—examples of actions to advance
diversity and inclusion. Joining the initiative aligns with
Pluralsight's broader commitment to diversity and inclusion through
its mission to democratize technology skills both in the workplace
as well as the broader community through the company's social
enterprise, Pluralsight One.
"Building a team with diverse views and experiences is critical
to our business and important to me as a human being," said
Skonnard. "It's not just the right thing to do, but the smart thing
to do, as a more diverse and inclusive workplace will lead to
better outcomes for us as a company as well as for our customers.
I'm proud to join the growing chorus of CEOs that are taking
action, and I invite CEOs everywhere to do the same. It's our
collective leadership that will create the positive change so
desperately needed to drive equality in tech and our global
community."
CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion™ is cultivating a new
type of ecosystem centered around collaboration and sharing. The
collective of more than 450 signatories have already shared more
than 400 best known actions of diversity and inclusion initiatives,
exchanging tangible learning opportunities and creating
collaborative conversations via the initiative's unified hub,

inclusion, Pluralsight will collaborate with other companies by
sharing best practices and examples to help create a diverse and
inclusive workplace.

steering committee of CEOs and leaders from Accenture, BCG,
