Defining DEI at Heap

Diversity: The many dimensions that make each of us unique, including (but not limited to) neurodiversity, education, zip code, race, language, disability, sexual orientation, gender, and age.
Equity: We recognize that we all start at different places. Were committed to fostering an environment where all Heaple have the opportunity to develop and achieve their fullest potential.
Inclusion: This happens organically in an environment where people feel that their voices are heard, respected, and empowered to succeed. We are committed to a workplace that celebrates and values the differences of all Heaple.

Working for Heap isnt your basic step-by-step assignment and just do your job. There are more resources than Ive ever seen at any other company Ive worked for that cares for your overall success, mental health, and growth. I feel heard, I feel appreciated, and most importantly, I feel included.

One of the best companies I have ever work for. People talk about work life balance, Heap is the perfect example for that. The work culture, the benefits, management, colleagues, people, everything is just perfect. Very much satisfied.

Investments in DEI like programs, events, and headcount feel genuine; CEO is invested and support comes from top to bottom. No other company Ive worked at has invested in its workforce quite like this. The most psychologically safe Ive felt in a workplace, ever.
