Creating a stronger, more diverse workplace.
We’re constantly pushing to be a more inclusive workplace for all — one
where everyone can join, contribute, grow, and thrive. Come learn all about
our commitments to diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging at Twitch.
Grow Talent
We nurture employees' skills and support their growth at every step.
Be Inclusive
We welcome everyone to the table and encourage sharing or challenging
ideas.
Raise Diversity
We embrace, respect, and celebrate the many ways we're different.
Change begins with Recruiting
Inclusive processes
We’re committed to building an interview process focused on capability and potential, with little room for bias.
Increasing representation
We’re determined to bring qualified candidates from a range of backgrounds into Twitch. We’ve invested in our sourcing resources and continually measure the resulting diversity in our new hire classes.
Programs for change
Apprenticeships
Advanced degrees aren’t the only way to open doors. We’re committed to nurturing and developing talent who learned to code outside of collegiate programs. Explore more on our “Early Career” page.
Development
We’ve embedded inclusion, diversity, equity, and belonging learning modules into our employee training programs to build a shared understanding and awareness of topics like allyship, bias mitigation, and inclusive leadership.
Mentorship & Coaching
To maximize the potential of everyone on our team, we’ve established mentee and mentorship opportunities for and from currently underrepresented identities.
Empowering our guilds
To foster community, belonging, and allyship in our employee communities,
we’ve committed to supporting our guilds through executive sponsorship,
leadership development, and quarterly inclusion, diversity, and equity
updates.
Access Ability Guild
The Access Ability Guild is a safe space for those with and without
disabilities to feel safe in being themselves, share their stories, and
build deeper connections with their communities.
We're excited about events we've hosted, including our fun and
enlightening sign language class with Martise & Matt from Deafinitely
Dope, and our Autism Acceptance Month, which was the catalyst for
bringing back our much-loved Twitch Listens sessions.
Asian Guild
The Asian Guild provides an inclusive and safe space for people to talk
about, raise awareness for, and foster togetherness among Asian cultures
and communities.
We're proud to have led, "An Open Dialogue on Violence Against the AAPI
Community," where Twitch and justin.tv co-founders, Kevin Lin and Justin
Kan, joined creator mxmtoon, Sr. Account Manager Sue "Smix" Lee, and
Artist Relations Manager and Asian Guild Lead Allyson Toy to raise
awareness and encourage the public to stand up against the violence
affecting Asian communities.
Black Guild
The mission of the Black Guild at Twitch is to cultivate a community
that celebrates and empowers Black voices and perspectives at the
workplace, Black creators and viewers on Twitch, and Black communities
in our operating cities.
The Black Guild engages with our local communities both on and off
Twitch through events such as our annual Black Creator Summit where we
host a series of fun and frank discussions between Black creators and
the guild looking out for their interests inside Twitch.
Somos LATAM Guild
The Somos LATAM Guild is a space for all individuals hailing from Latin American origins, as well as those interested in broader Hispanic cultures and the Spanish and Portuguese languages. We aim to connect, inform, and generate dialogue that empowers our members to make a difference within Twitch and their communities.
We celebrated Hispanic Heritage Month by highlighting Latinx creators on Twitch and partnering with Latinx in Gaming for their UNIDOS livestream event. We also hosted multiple activities for our employee community, growing the network of Latinx people proudly working at Twitch!
Parents Guild
The Parents Guild provides an inclusive place for parents to discuss, learn about, and advocate for issues and initiatives related to parenting in tech, starting with the Twitch employee community.
We’re a robust community of new and experienced parents, so whether we’re helping each other navigate the challenges of working from home or just need a place to ask questions, we find support and connect with others by sharing our family experiences.
Rainbow Road Guild
The Rainbow Road Guild provides an inclusive space for anyone at Twitch wishing to discuss, learn about, and advocate for LGBTQIA+ issues and initiatives.
For Trans Day of Remembrance, we partnered with Trans Lifeline to educate Twitch employees about the challenges experienced by transgender individuals, both online and offline, and how we can design to support transgender creators and viewers.
Veterans Guild
The Veterans Guild provides an inclusive place for all Twitch employees,
veterans, and allies to discuss, learn about, and advocate for issues
and initiatives related to veterans.
We're a community that celebrates and empowers veteran voices and
perspectives in the workplace, tech, and gaming communities.
Women+ Guild
The Women+ Guild provides an inclusive place for Twitch employees of all genders to discuss, learn about, and advocate for issues and initiatives related to gender in tech. We believe in improving connection, engagement, and growth opportunities for everyone, so that we all feel welcome and safe.
For International Women’s Day, we held a lunch event where all of our women leaders shared about their career journeys.
Holding ourselves
accountable
Executive level attention
We build inclusion, diversity, equity and belonging into our executive evaluation processes and conversations. Executives sponsor our Guilds and personally answer employee questions at each All Hands meeting.
Employee experiences
We hold ourselves accountable with regular GLINT and management surveys, and aim for there to be no significant difference in the employee experience across identities.
Diversity in every process
We regularly review our pipeline diversity data with hiring teams.
Inclusive hiring
We consider equity in every HR decision.
