Embracing Juneteenth: A Journey Towards Inclusion

PagerDuty, under the leadership of its Chief Diversity Officer, commemorates Juneteenth as a pivotal company holiday that celebrates the end of slavery in Texas in 1865 and symbolizes the ongoing journey towards a more equitable and inclusive society. The company emphasizes the significance of Juneteenth as a reimagining of a nation built on equality and freedom, aligning with PagerDuty's vision of fostering an equitable world. The firm is committed to creating inclusive experiences for all employees and demonstrates this through initiatives like ArrayChella, a grassroots event designed by members of its Black Employee Resource Group to honor Black and Latine employees. The event showcased cultural contributions and fostered community building. Additionally, PagerDuty strives for pay equity across its workforce, ensuring fair compensation for employees of all races and ethnicities. The company encourages its employees, known as Dutonians, to reflect on Juneteenth's historical and contemporary relevance by sharing personal perspectives, participating in local celebrations, and recognizing the resilience and contributions of African Americans and other underrepresented communities to the nation's success.
