Diversity, inclusion, and belonging at GitHub in 2019

GitHub experienced a year of growth and change, marked by new leadership, product launches, and a 30% increase in its workforce with 360 new employees joining from around the world. The company remains committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive, and belonging-focused environment for its global developer and employee communities. Its fourth annual Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging Report highlights initiatives that have supported these goals, such as the development of employee resource groups (ERGs) like Blacktocats and Octoqueer, which engage in impactful community projects. The report also emphasizes the importance of flexible work arrangements, manager training on inclusive practices, and ongoing dialogues between leadership and the Inclusion Advisory Council to enhance inclusion in policies and processes. GitHub continues to prioritize creating a welcoming workplace where all employees, or "Hubbers," can thrive and contribute to the company's mission to build a global platform for developers.
