Zipwhip Ranked No. 9 on Inaugural List of Washington’s Most Equitable Workplaces
Summary
The inclusion recognizes Zipwhip’s mission of creating an equitable workplace for all of its employees and its ongoing commitment to promote diversity both within its walls and in the larger local technology community. “Our programs and practices are a key foundational piece to creating a positive culture like ours, but the bigger factor is the people we are fortunate to have on our team and the commitment to respect that we share.” For the company evaluations, Puget Sound Business Journal leveraged The GEN Index, which provides a standardized measurement of workplace equity. GEN then evaluated the companies according to standards of excellence across five tenets of workplace culture: bias neutrality, employee resonance, accessibility, gender perception gap and visible advocacy. GEN’s metrics quantify to what extent each organization: Zipwhip will take the GEN Index report findings and identify opportunities where the company can continue to improve in these key areas. We have high aspirations, with this team and our commitment, we’ll get there.” This ranking adds to a growing list of recognitions for the company in 2019, including awards celebrating Zipwhip’s culture, leadership and work environment: Zipwhip pioneered the texting-for-business industry when it text-enabled the first landline phone number in 2014.
