PagerDuty’s People-First Approach to Community

PagerDuty's "People First" philosophy emphasizes flexibility and community building, which is reflected in their remote work policies allowing employees to choose their preferred work mode—hybrid, in-office, or remote. The company fosters social and professional connections through virtual initiatives such as "Donuts" and "Casual Collisions," enabling employees to engage in informal chats and collaborative projects like their virtual HackWeek. The Vibe program, under the Workplace Experience Team, organizes cross-team events that align with PagerDuty's values, promoting social impact, inclusion, diversity, and equity, such as the STEP-temper fitness challenge and virtual concerts. PagerDuty extends its community efforts through its pledge 1% commitment, offering Volunteer Time Off and Technical Pro Bono programs that harness employee skills for nonprofit partners and community needs, supporting causes like vaccine equity through innovative solutions. Employees are encouraged to participate in financial giving and company match campaigns, significantly contributing to social impact programs, with 92% engagement in 2021. Through these initiatives, PagerDuty positions itself as a facilitator for positive change, integrating its values into both employee experience and broader community support.
