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.

  • Hiring Practices: Create hiring practices that diversify the candidate pool and remove biases from the selection process.

  • Community Involvement: Create partnerships with community organizations to help increase our connection to our communities
  • Company Procurement: Identify and utilize procurement opportunities from female and minority-owned business

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.

La Khorriente

Provide visibility, community empowerment, and a sense of belonging for the Latinx and Hispanic employees and allies in and outside Khoros. We achieve our mission through inclusive initiatives designed to support and nurture relationships, in Khoros and the wider community.


Pride

Prioritize inclusion, education, and professional development for the Khoros’ LGBTQ+ community. Create a visible LGBTQ+ community who have fun, influence company policy, mentor each other professionally, and active in giving back to the LGBTQ+ community.


V*E*T*S

V*E*T*S is dedicated to building awareness around topics and resources for veterans, encouraging each other through shared experiences, career development, professional growth, and outward engagement in the community. This group brings together the unique background of military service and those who support the military and military service members, harnessing these strengths to better serve our veteran employees, their families, and our community.
