Employee Resource Groups at Pendo

Employees who are free to bring their whole selves to work are more productive and innovative, which benefits the entire company. Employee-led Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) provide a welcoming and safe space for conversation, education, and mentorship. They also help galvanize Pendo within our communities.

Women of Pendo

The Women of Pendo employee resource group facilitates gender diversity at Pendo by raising the visibility of women in the workforce, researching and recommending solutions to issues affecting women; and providing opportunities for women to develop leadership skills and broaden their network.
Research has shown that the increase of women in leadership is helping businesses to thrive in unprecedented ways. At Pendo, we strive to close the gender gap and facilitate crucial conversations with women and our allies.

MOSAIC

The MOSAIC employee resource group helps Pendo foster an environment of inclusiveness by supporting efforts to attract and retain the best URM talent, promoting URM members’ leadership and development, and leading other employees toward better cultural understanding.
MOSAIC has given us the ability to elevate our conversations around diversity, equity, and inclusion to the exec-level and be able to execute our ideas for a more inclusive workplace.

Neurodiversity

The Neurodiversity employee resource group’s mission is to help Pendozers with ADHD, ASD, or other neurological differences be accepted, and thrive at Pendo. This group works to provide mentorship, guidance, and support for ND individuals and for parents, loved ones, and caregivers of ND family members.
The concept of neurodiversity is still new to many people, and many common business practices can be inadvertently exclusionary or restrictive to ND individuals. It is important to us that all of our ND voices are heard and that different neurotypes are understood so that we can all contribute, bring our whole selves to work, and share our unique perspectives.

Femmegineers

The Femmegineers employee resource group provides a safe space of understanding for underrepresented genders in engineering roles, creating opportunities for collaboration, mentorship, personal development and career growth.
Joining the Femmegineers has really helped me feel welcomed and supported since day one. I love all of our open conversations and all of the praise we give a fellow femmegineer when they accomplish something. I’m proud to be part of a group that accepts and supports all genders working in tech.
