Diversity, equity, and inclusion report
Progress begins with transparency. We are excited to share our first annual Diversity, equity, and inclusion report. This report reflects our commitment to communicate our progress and challenges fully and transparently, in making our company a more diverse and inclusive one.
Building a culture of belonging
Fostering belonging is critical to our growth and success. To enhance our belonging strategy, Anaplan partnered with the Center for Equity, Gender, and Leadership Center at UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business to develop the Advancing Belonging at Organizations playbook.
This free resource provides real-world strategies, tools, and applications to help any equity-fluent company or leader foster belonging within their organization.
Learn more about our work on the Advancing Belonging at Organizations playbook and how we’re using it to foster belonging at Anaplan.
Gender Parity
As our company grows, we’re dedicated to providing transparency, continuing open dialogue, and investing in programs and partnerships to help close the representation, opportunity, and compensation gaps across genders.
