Confluent’s Commitment to Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

Confluent cares deeply about diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I). We are proud to have a strong culture of empathy and inclusion, where we empower all employees to bring their whole selves to work.

Our Mission

DE&I is central to Confluent’s culture and business. We know that every employee brings unique, valuable perspectives that collectively make our company stronger, more vibrant, and more innovative. We act on our commitment to DE&I by developing policies and programs that make Confluent a fair and inclusive workplace, where every employee has the opportunity to develop and succeed.

Getting to the Heart of It

Here’s what diversity, equity, and inclusion mean to us at Confluent:

Employee Lifecycle

We seek to build and retain a diverse workforce through inclusive hiring practices and by providing development opportunities for employees of all backgrounds.

Career Enablement and Recognition

We create and implement equitable processes to ensure that we recognize, reward, and evaluate all employees fairly.

Company Culture

We strengthen our culture of inclusion through global employee programs, including eight vibrant employee resource groups (ERGs) and our Experience Ambassadors program.

Pride Month

Our Queerfluent ERG helped all LGBTQIA+ employees and allies recognize Pride this June. Celebrations included everything from a dance party to an empowering development workshop, family storybook hour, and drag queen bingo.

Confluent’s 7th Birthday

Confluent turned 7 years old in September! Our culture champions, the Experience Ambassadors, hosted a number of “Hybrid Hangouts” for our employees across the globe to celebrate this milestone - our first as a public company.

Latinx & Hispanic Heritage Month

The Conmigos ERG’s theme for this yearly recognition was Fuerza y Esperanza - Strength and Hope. Conmigos and allies celebrate with a kickoff happy hour, by sharing member spotlights, and by hosting a fireside in partnership with their executive sponsors.
