Summary:

Zendesk, a global software company with over $500 million in annual revenue, pursues its diversity and inclusion goals in many ways, including four mentorship programs. The most recent program, Women at Zendesk, launched in the company's U.S. offices in 2018 with the goal of pairing female leaders with women in more junior roles to help mentees feel supported and inspired as they progress in their careers at Zendesk. Professional development under the Women at Zendesk program includes building the next generation of female leaders through conversations with role models, sharing knowledge, and sponsoring one another's success in order to achieve equity across all levels of the corporate pipeline. Simultaneously, the HR department is working to identify and consider qualified female staff for management roles across the company. In 2019, Zendesk plans to re-design the program for rollout to its employees worldwide.
