We celebrate diverse perspectives, and we create environments where all team members feel valued, trusted, connected, and informed. Our employees utilize inclusive benefit offerings, attend annual conferences such as CORE+ (intersectional conversations on race, gender identity, sexual orientation, etc.), and participate in over twelve different employee-led affinity groups. Our teams build inclusive culture through biweekly team-building events and by working together to define processes and schedules that value work-life balance. And finally, our company leaders work actively to honor Amazon’s public commitment to fostering diversity and being Earth’s Best Employer.
