Diversity & Inclusion

We’re stronger when we’re diverse, which means our business relies on having different voices and perspectives at the table. All backgrounds, national origins, races, religions, sexual orientations, ages, abilities, and family structures are welcome at Khoros.

  • Community Involvement: Create partnerships with community organizations to help increase our connection to our communities

Khoros Social Responsibility (KSR) Program

We’re proud to offer our software and services to women-owned and minority-owned businesses and nonprofits that do not currently have the capacity to invest in our offerings. This gives everyone at Khoros a chance to volunteer skills and services in support of the causes we care about and the chance to make a collective, positive impact on marginalized communities.

Equality and Transparency

We’re stronger when we’re equal and transparent. We are committed to equal pay across the organization as well as advocating for equality in the communities where we live and work. This is the kind of work that is never “done”, and we believe we should be vocal about the progress we still need to make.

Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)

ERGs are employer-recognized workplace groups voluntarily led by employees. These groups allow employees with commonalities to meet, support each other and produce a particular outcome that helps improve your business and their job satisfaction.

Khoros Network of Women (KNOW)

KNOW is an inclusive community of women and allies focused on professional development and connection. KNOW brings women together across a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences to bridge differences and harness our collective power.
