Be your authentic self at WeWork

The mission of WeWork’s Office of Inclusion is to create an environment where everyone feels welcome to be their authentic selves at work. A place where differences are not only valued and respected, but recognized as essential to our success.

Amplifying all voices

Our Employee Community Groups (ECGs) began as grassroots efforts that have become core to our culture. They bring our communities around the world closer together to celebrate unique lived experiences. These employee-led groups serve as a resource for team members by helping foster a diverse, inclusive workplace aligned with WeWork’s mission, values, goals, and objectives.

 

Creating a community where people of color feel represented, included, and heard in the workplace by fostering fellowship, advancement, resources, and recognition—increasing belonging, diversity, and inclusion within WeWork.

 

We seek to support parents at WeWork, empowering everyone to live their home and work lives to the fullest.

 

We seek to create a more inclusive culture for all LGBTQIA+ employees through events, active citizenship, a digital community, and mentorship, so that every person feels safe, visible, empowered, and able to connect with others at WeWork globally.

 

Repurposing the mission mindset to help enrich the lives of veterans at WeWork through service, leadership, and education.

 

We seek to raise the visibility of women and marginalized genders in our workplace and empower each other to reach our potential through networking, career development, learning opportunities, and social good within a safe and trusting environment.

 

We Are Able advocates for a safe, accessible workplace where employees of ALL abilities are empowered through inclusivity, empathy, education, and a supportive community.

Our recent initiatives

The latest from WeWork’s Office of Inclusion

Building a culture of inclusion

To better understand our unconscious biases, we developed the Inclusion @ WeWork Training. This 10-week program focuses on concrete strategies to help mitigate the impact of bias in order to foster a more inclusive environment where everyone can thrive. Additionally, for leaders and hiring managers we have developed the Inclusive Leadership Training and the Inclusive Hiring Training programs to explore the science behind inclusive leadership and discuss how to create and promote inclusion.

Pronouns @ WeWork

In this campaign, we are inviting our employees and members to identify their pronouns, if they feel comfortable doing so. Encouraging pronoun use by those who traditionally identify as gender binary (he or she) makes it easier for those who do not identify as binary (they, xe, ze, etc.) to share their pronouns without feeling uncomfortable. WeWork offers vinyl pronoun stickers for laptops so both our members and our employees can easily self-identify in our spaces; and welcomes employees to share their pronouns in email signatures, Slack profiles, business cards, etc. Normalizing inclusive pronoun usage by everyone is an extension of our goal of fostering a community where inclusion thrives and diversity is celebrated.

Fostering community and allyship

As part of our Sowing Seeds of Allyship series, we invite employees to explore the lived experiences of several groups, for example the Parents’ Experience, the Black American Experience, the LGBTQIA+ Experience, and the important role allyship can play. In partnership with Simon & Schuster, our Author Series provides opportunities to join virtual conversations with authors of diverse backgrounds.
