Stories That Reflect Our World
Netflix’s greatest impact is in storytelling. Stories like The Harder They Fall, Never Have I Ever, Love on the Spectrum, Yasuke, and Squid Game broaden representation, empathy and understanding. We create and connect these stories to people all around the globe - removing the barriers of language, device, ability or connectivity. Better representation on-screen starts with representation in the office. Our work has to be internal first, so it can impact what we do externally. We believe we’ll do that better if our employees come from different backgrounds, and if we create an environment of inclusion and belonging for them.
INCLUSION ON-SCREEN STARTS WITH INCLUSION IN THE OFFICE.

Inclusion at Netflix
In order to entertain the world, we need a company that reflects the world. We employ people in multiple countries across the globe, and work hard to ensure our workforce is as diverse as the members we serve.
Diversity Unlocks Innovation
Diversity and inclusion unlocks our ability to innovate and to be creative. It brings different lived experiences and perspectives to a problem, so that we’re solving them in new ways. And we’re able to better entertain our current and future members and make an impact in the world. When we get that right, magic is possible. We’re uplifting stories about Black British lives. We’re chronicling the life of a gay man with cerebral palsy on TV, a first. We’re moving some of our cash into Black banks. Inclusion is at the heart of so many of these moments.

Community and Belonging
We want employees to feel like they have a home here. That they belong. And that’s possible when they feel reflected at work. One way to feel reflected is for people to see themselves represented at different levels of the company, in different hallways and virtual meeting rooms. Our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are vital to creating this sense of inclusion and belonging. ERGs are communities of employees who create space to connect on their shared experiences. We have 18 ERGs serving Latino/a/x, veteran, Black, and disability communities to name a few (full list below).

Equitable Practices
Our employees should recognize themselves in our company policies and practices, regardless of factors like their religion, family responsibilities, gender identities, and disabilities. On equitable pay, we routinely analyze and close out pay disparities when we find them, including an annual compensation review. And we offer inclusive benefits: flexible parental leave policy, a family forming benefit, and transgender and non-binary care in our U.S. health plans.
