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.

Want to see how we're bringing our DE&I commitment to life? Check out a few recent initiatives below.

Black History Month

In February, we explored what it means to truly #AmplifyBlackVoices. With the Blackfluent ERG's leadership, we discussed the importance of allyship and advocacy and heard from some of Confluent's Black leaders and visionaries.

Women's History Month

Our Women's Inclusion Network (WIN) ERG led our recognition of Women's History Month. Initiatives included a written #BreaktheBias series, an employee panel, and some of our ERG Program's first in-person events!

One Team Week

In April, our Experience Ambassadors hosted our second annual One Team Week - a celebration of our #oneteam value and all that our employees bring to our company. We marked the occasion with in-person and virtual celebrations across the globe.
