Glassdoor, the worldwide leader on insights about jobs and companies, launched new product features that deliver greater transparency into the current state of diversity, equity and inclusion within companies. These new product features come as 3 in 4 (76%) job seekers and employees report that a diverse workforce is an important factor when evaluating companies and job offers1. These features are part of Glassdoor’s public commitment to leveraging its product and resources to help achieve equity in and out of the workplace.

According to a new Glassdoor survey conducted by The Harris Poll, job seekers and employees report that disparities still exist within companies with respect to experiences with and perceptions of diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace. Job seekers and employees also say they want to work at companies that truly value diversity and inclusion as part of their culture. The survey shows that nearly half of Black (47%) and Hispanic (49%) job seekers and employees have quit a job after witnessing or experiencing discrimination at work, significantly higher than white (38%) job seekers and employees. In addition, nearly 1 in 3 (32%) job seekers and employees today say they would not apply to a job at a company where there is a lack of diversity among its workforce. This is significantly higher for Black job seekers and employees (41%) when compared to white job seekers and employees (30%).

“Job seekers and employees today really care about equity, and for too long they’ve lacked access to the information needed to make informed decisions about the companies that are, or are not, truly inclusive,” said Glassdoor Chief Executive Officer Christian Sutherland-Wong. “We have a responsibility as a platform and employer to bridge the information gap that’s blocking the path to equity in and out of the workplace. By increasing transparency around diversity and inclusion within companies, we can help create more equitable companies and a more equitable society too.”
