Pluralsight, Inc. (NASDAQ: PS), the enterprise technology learning
platform, today announced it has been named one of the 2018
Best Workplaces for Women by Great Place to Work and FORTUNE.
Pluralsight ranked number 18 on the list, following up the
company’s recent number 9 ranking on the 2018 Best Small &
Medium Workplaces list by Great Place to Work and FORTUNE.
“Building a diverse team where everyone experiences a commitment
to inclusion and a deep and personal connection to the company is
among my highest priorities as CEO,” said Aaron Skonnard,
Co-founder and CEO of Pluralsight. “I want all Pluralsight team
members, regardless of gender identity, ethnicity, sexual
orientation, age or physical ability, to feel welcome and
comfortable bringing their best selves to work every day.
Pluralsight is proud to be recognized as a great workplace not just
for women, but team members of all backgrounds and viewpoints.”
The Best Workplaces for Women stand out for creating great
workplaces for all employees, regardless of gender or other
personal characteristics. Pluralsight is an original founder of
Parity.org, a nonprofit organization focused on bringing gender
parity to the highest levels of business. As a founding member,
Pluralsight was among the first companies to take the ParityPledge,
committing to interview at least one qualified woman candidate for
every open vice president position and above, including board
positions. In July, Pluralsight Co-founder and CEO Aaron Skonnard
became the first CEO of Utah-based company to sign the pledge for
CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion™, committing himself and
Pluralsight to advance diversity and inclusion in the workplace.
“Our commitment to diversity and inclusion is embedded in all we
do and we are very intentional in our approach to team building to
ensure we have diverse viewpoints and team members feel a sense of
belonging,” said Anita Grantham, chief people officer at
Pluralsight. “We know industry-wide change doesn’t happen
overnight, and we are committed as a company and as a leadership
team for positive change in the workplace. We hope our leadership
will pave the way for others to take action.”
The Best Workplaces for Women list is one of a series of
rankings by Great Place to Work and FORTUNE based on team members
feedback from Great Place to Work-Certified™ organizations. The
ranking considered more than 540,000 team member surveys from Great
Place to Work-Certified companies. Great Place to Work evaluated
more than 50 elements of team members’ experience on the job. These
included the extent to which team members, particularly women,
trust leaders, the respect with which people are treated, the
fairness of workplace decisions, and how much camaraderie there is
among the team. Rankings are based on team member’s feedback and
reward companies who best include all team members, and where women
have equally great experiences as team members of other genders, no
matter who they are or what they do for the organization.
“This year, we pledged to close the employee experience gender
gap by 2020, and these winning organizations are leading the way in
achieving this mission, proving that all companies, regardless of
their industry, size, or complexity, can be great workplaces for
women,” said Michael Bush, CEO of Great Place to Work. “Empowering
women in the workplace isn’t just the right thing to do – it’s a
business imperative. Organizations can create their own equitable
cultures by learning from the companies on this list, who get
women’s buy-in of the mission and inspire them to innovate, driving
the entire company forward.”
