Embracing Diversity and Inclusion
When our global teams represent the communities we serve, we can better empathize with our customers, anticipate their needs, and solve their challenges.
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging (DEIB)
Recruitment and Hiring
Our Talent Acquisition team and hiring managers partner to reduce the risk of unconscious bias, ensure fair merit-based assessments, and engage candidates from all backgrounds, genders, and ethnicities.
Development and Growth
We’re integrating DEIB into our employee development programs to provide a common language for all Zscaler employees. We’re focused on inclusive leadership practices to give all our team members clear, equitable opportunities for growth and development.
An Inclusive Work Environment
We’re cultivating an inclusive culture globally across our organization where individuals of all perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences can belong, stay, and thrive.
Holistic Well-being
We work hard to ensure equity in benefits, pay, and access to health and wellness support for all Zscaler employees.
Our approach to DEIB emphasizes regional goals and programs. Understanding that change doesn't happen overnight, we continuously review and update our strategies for attracting, retaining, and supporting our diverse talent.

Our Initiatives and Progress
As we move forward in our journey, we want to reflect on our progress so far:
Inclusive Company Culture
We enriched our workplace culture by providing DEIB training and fostering an environment where employees from all backgrounds feel included, valued, and heard.
DEIB Leadership
We appointed a Global Head of DEIB, bringing visionary leadership to our DEIB initiatives and setting the course for sustained inclusivity.
Mentorship and Sponsorship Programs
We relaunched our internal mentorship program and are piloting a Women in Leadership Coaching Program. These programs empower people from diverse backgrounds with the guidance and support they need to succeed.
Equitable and Inclusive Benefit Enhancements
We updated and upgraded our employee benefits to make them locally relevant and meet the needs of our diverse employee base.
Employee Resource Group Growth
We invested in our six Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), offering platforms for our employees to foster supportive communities where they can connect, share experiences, and drive change in our organization.
Building an inclusive culture requires us to engage beyond our organization, and we are committed to making purposeful steps in our communities. We will:
Build strategic partnerships with external organizations, contributing our influence to industry-wide initiatives supporting women and underrepresented talent in tech globally.
Establish community leadership by leading from the front in community engagement, investing in volunteer programs, increasing our engagement with local communities, providing educational opportunities, and promoting STEM initiatives to shape a diverse talent pipeline for the future.
Support global collaboration and education by focusing our programs and initiatives on addressing unique challenges faced by different communities globally and contributing to tech inclusivity.
Zscaler is on a journey toward a more inclusive future. We are committed to having a truly diverse employee and customer base, and will continue to foster a culture where every voice is heard, every perspective valued, and every individual empowered to reach their full potential.
