Domo Becomes Founding Member of New ParityPledge to Increase Ethnic Diversity
Summary
Domo also announced it has extended its commitment to the ParityPledge by applying the pledge’s recruiting principles, designed for leadership roles, to all open positions throughout its organization. “Our original ParityPledge was created to close the gender gap in business, and we have always believed that equal representation of all groups was key to achieving that. I hope that by bringing this simple pledge to the forefront, more companies will be open to changing how they recruit and hire underrepresented executives, because we need people of color at the table and in decision-making roles.” Since taking the original ParityPledge, which was co-founded by Domo CEO Josh James, Domo has increased the percentage of females on its board of directors from zero to 43%. “The original ParityPledge has had a positive impact on us advancing our gender diversity goals while allowing us to focus on attracting and retaining the best talent,” said Josh James, Domo founder and CEO. To truly get to where we want to go, we must build a more diverse pipeline of top talent, expand our networks and continue to place the creation of an inclusive and welcoming culture at the top of our priority list.” Parity.org is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization dedicated to closing the representation gap for women and people of color at the highest ranks of business leadership.
