Search experience cloud firm, Yext, has won the Digiday Worklife Award for being the ‘Most Committed to Diversity and Inclusion’ at Digiday’s recent 2019 Fall Awards Gala.
Yext beat five other finalists in its category thanks to its many successful diversity initiatives and Employee Resource Groups (ERGs). In fact, Yext boasts five ERGs celebrating various different groups that ‘Yexters’ identify with, or want to support with their allyship, whether they are women, people of colour, LGBTQ+ employees, employees with disabilities, or parents. The ERGs are given ‘as much attention as any other business function, and receive resources to organise internal programmes for Yexters to participate in, from a women’s mentorship network to talks with diverse speakers’, says the company.
SERIAL AWARD WINNER
Yext was chosen for this award by a panel of judges who evaluated the company on criteria, such as innovation, creativity and results. “Yext is honoured to be recognised by Digiday for our commitment to diversity and inclusion,” said Brian ‘Skip’ Schipper, Chief People Officer at Yext. “We work each day to make Yext a place where people of all backgrounds are valued and empowered to make an impact the moment they walk through our doors.”
This award is just one of several that Yext has already received for its ‘inclusive workplace’ initiatives, confirms the company. This year alone, Yext has been recognised as a Best Workplace for Women, Best Workplace for Parents, Great Place to Work, a Top 10 Company in Tech for Millennial Women, and much more.
Headquartered in New York City, Yext has offices worldwide, including in Amsterdam, Berlin, Chicago, Dallas, Geneva, London, Miami, Milan, Paris, San Francisco, Shanghai, Tokyo, and Washington DC.
