Cloudflare Inclusion & Diversity

Cloudflare is committed to building diverse teams by expanding opportunities for underrepresented groups and fostering a more balanced workforce. Employees say the company has made meaningful progress in increasing gender representation, reflecting a continued focus on inclusive hiring and creating teams with a wider range of perspectives.

“When I joined back in October last year we already had two women on the team of six (33%). After a hiring spree in Q1 that dropped to 27%. Currently, and including the people that are confirmed to join by August, we’ll be around 54% women on the team, based on a team of 13. We were aiming to add more women onto the team but we didn’t think it was going to be anything like that.”

Cloudflare fosters an inclusive workplace by creating formal opportunities for employees to shape diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives while providing education that helps build a more equitable culture. Leaders work closely with employee resource groups and the Inclusion Council to encourage dialogue, address unconscious bias and promote meaningful action across the organization.

“Cloudflare has an inclusion council comprised of ERG leaders designed to surface and incite feedback on topics related to diversity, equity and inclusion. Our people team worked to produce a three-part education series with a goal of educating employees about the effects of unconscious bias in the workplace and delivering strategies to mitigate it.

Last year, we worked with Cloudflare leadership to coordinate and produce an educational event called ‘Cloudflare’s Day On: Learning & Inclusion,’ to address racism in the tech industry. This was a company-wide day of engagement and reflection, focusing on how we as individuals and an organization can all be anti-racist.”
