Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging (DEIB)
Creating an inclusive environment.
livingHR believes everyone should have access to opportunities and know what it feels like to belong. Belonging and celebrating our whole selves has been woven into our Culture Code as an organization since 2009. We believe that in order to support belonging, we must use our voices to advocate for everyone in all groups, races, abilities, identities, genders, religions, and backgrounds.
Showing Up for Our People
Humanized Benefits to Support Our Diverse Team
We weave DEIB into the fabric of our culture, and one of the most important ways we do that is through the benefits we offer our employees. We believe that everyone deserves to have access to the benefits they need to thrive, regardless of their background or identity.
Benefit plan options that include gender-affirming care and domestic partnership eligibility
Company paid access to mental health care
Family and Caregiver Leave + Parental Leave
The Family Emergency Fund: A trust-based fund available to all W-2 employees for unexpected healthcare expenses, caregiver gaps, or temporary lodging expenses due to any crisis not covered by other benefits or insurance
Unlimited PTO with a 3-week minimum to counteract the research done that shows unlimited PTO encourages less time off

Our Representation Today
Because representation matters, we always strive to ensure each person on our team feels represented, heard, valued, and seen. We survey our team members regularly to gain a better understanding of the representation we have as a group and to gauge how each person is feeling. We take these results into careful consideration as we make plans to move forward as an organization. We are proud of the diverse representation that encompasses our team, and we are constantly evolving how we attract, retain, and support our talent.

Amplify the voices that need to be heard. We will unite in our wildly different personal experiences to bring together open minds and encourage innovation. We will live boldly into our truths, bringing our whole selves to our work and the team we work alongside. We will act with consideration for people, without exception, and learn from and celebrate the life stories that build our awareness and allow us to think beyond ourselves.
We know bringing humanity to work, celebrating our differences as humans, and developing empathetic and inclusive leaders is a social impact we can create and one that will live on.
