Summary

PagerDuty's cultural value of "Bring Your Self" emphasizes building diverse teams through intentional investments in diversity programs and employee-driven communities, such as the Black and Latinx Employee Resource Group (ERG), Array. During February, Array organized events to celebrate Black History Month, focusing on themes like "I Am My Ancestors’ Wildest Dreams," which honors past, present, and future influences. Each week featured different focuses, such as "Becoming," exploring personal growth and representation in the tech industry; "Representing Intersectionality," which included a cross-office panel discussing identity and family pride; "Celebrating Diaspora," appreciating progress and supporting community organizations like The Covenant House and Code Tenderloin; and "Thriving," which concluded the month with a joint event with Blend's ERG, highlighting the importance of multifaceted identities and achievements. These initiatives aimed to increase representation, foster understanding, and celebrate the diverse perspectives of Black employees within PagerDuty.
