In today's rapidly changing and evolving business landscape, Nutanix, as a forward thinking and intentional organization, recognizes that Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) will help us create and maintain a dynamic culture that achieves business results. We recognize that having a diverse and inclusive workplace is foundational to our success.
Since the company's inception, DEIB efforts at Nutanix have been aimed at attracting, developing, and retaining the best diverse talent by facilitating an irresistible employee experience. As the vital component of the Nutanix People Strategy, an irresistible company is one that is so desirable that employees are elated to be selected, proud to work for, and truly hate to leave. It's about each employee celebrating our values - unwaveringly - and being a part of highly connected teams that produce unparalleled results.
This is the Nutanix that we all work towards each day. DEIB supports the irresistible strategy by being deeply embedded into both our Core Values and Culture Principles. At its base, DEIB is about inclusivity. It's an organization that embraces different perspectives to foster allyship and connection. DEIB lies right at the intersection of our employee benefit programs, social activities, and opportunities for growth.
Representation
We embrace differences in talents, identities, lived experiences, and perspectives to help us continuously become a more creative, compassionate, and innovative company. We are not all the same, and we like it that way.
Opportunity
We work to eliminate bias across all systems and build in processes for accountability, so that every employee has what they need to succeed and is treated fairly, equitably, and with integrity.
Safety
We ensure that every employee, customer, and partner is seen, valued, respected, and included for who they are. We prioritize understanding how everything we do supports a psychologically safe environment.
Connection
We create opportunities for meaningful connections so that every employee feels that they belong in our global community.
In 2023, senior leaders - Vice Presidents and above - participated in a live interactive executive development experience on Allyship in San Jose. At this global gathering, the executives took part in exercises that demonstrated how being an ally to individuals who have historically been marginalized is the first step toward supporting growth and development for all employees. By embracing the idea of allyship and finding opportunities to form real connections with team members, a ripple effect can drive others throughout the organization and inspire them to find their own way by becoming an agent for positive change.
To build a workplace where employees are inspired and can thrive, we invest in diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging efforts, which we believe enable more effective decision-making processes, increased innovation in our products and services, and greater customer satisfaction.
At Nutanix, we prioritize diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging because we believe it has a positive impact on our business and work to continually cultivate a culture that not only attracts diverse talent but also unleashes their full potential within an environment that is welcoming, psychologically safe, and inspiring for all.
At Nutanix, diversity is at the core of all we do. We embrace differences in talents, identities, lived experiences, and perspectives to help us become a more creative, compassionate, and innovative company.
We are not all the same, and we like it that way. Diversity drives us forward.

Diverse teams challenge the status quo and help us think out of the box. The more we can embrace differences in talents, identities, lived experiences, and perspectives - the more successful we will be.
We seek to eliminate bias across all systems and build in processes for accountability so that every employee has what they need to succeed and is treated fairly, equitably, and with integrity.
In addition to offering benefits that accommodate unique individual needs, Nutanix promotes equity through the following:
Nutanix is dedicated to ensuring that all employees have access to learning opportunities. Employees engage in a range of developmental activities, including compliance training and a range of instructor-led and self-paced learning activities provided by the company and its partners. Our strategy drives a global, scaled learning approach for the enterprise. We are also focused on delivering programs for key populations and incorporating meaningful peer-to-peer experiences blended with self-driven resources for all employees.
By leveraging executive coaching and talent assessments such as Gallup CliftonStrengths, we are committed to nurturing our current and future leaders, preparing them for critical roles throughout the organization.
We’re proud to offer gender-neutral restrooms in our two largest employee centers.
Our ultimate goal for DEIB at Nutanix is to create and sustain a culture of belonging. It's not about "fitting in" but more about experiencing the sensational feeling of being a part of something special - and bigger than yourself.
We seek to create an environment where every employee, customer, and partner is seen, valued, respected, and included for who they are. We prioritize understanding how everything we do supports a psychologically safe environment.
We promote inclusion through a range of activities, including:
We hold forums, programs, and opportunities for employees to discuss the issues that impact their everyday lives. For example, we engage employees at large twice a year, and have a vocal population with at least 85% providing feedback. Through surveys, we are able to see the strength of our culture, maintaining strong engagement in the top 25th percentile compared to our peer companies. When asked what they like about working at Nutanix, "people", "culture," and "team" were the top three words used, with "flexibility", "support", and "help" also coming up frequently providing visibility into what contributes to our strong culture.
Nutanix Learning Academy, our global learning management system, offers a variety of bite-sized lessons that help equip employees with the skills they need to promote greater inclusivity, productivity, and collaboration within their teams.
This is centered around the expectation that a person will not be unduly punished or humiliated for speaking up with ideas, questions, concerns, or for making mistakes when taking responsible risks.
We seek to create opportunities for meaningful connections so that every employee feels that they belong in our global community.
Nutanix is home to seven employee-led L.I.F.E. groups created to support Leadership, Inclusion, Friends, and Experiences. Commonly referred to as employee resource groups (ERGs), they play a critical role in promoting diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging at Nutanix.
Being in NuShades I was able to learn about a new opportunity at the company and as a result, I was able to get more people in my corner and help me prepare for a promotion that I was able to obtain.
In 2023, approximately 20% of Nutanix employees were engaged in LIFE Groups. The participation in these groups continues to grow as members take part in dynamic Slack dialogues and discussions, celebratory and awareness programming, and cause-based volunteer events that also support our philanthropic efforts.
Employees have opportunities to build a sense of belonging by participating in or attending community events. In 2023, a new LIFE Group - Family Xperience - was created. It looks at the concept of family from diverse perspectives. The group quickly emerged as our second largest LIFE Group after Women of Nutanix. Family Xperience supported the corporate donation to charity: water to help families in water-stricken areas. From this activity, Family Xperience will have a dedicated water well named after them.
To create a culture of belonging, we want all employees to bring their authentic best selves to work and to have a strong sense of connection. These global LIFE group communities are open to all regular employees, including interns, and allies are encouraged to join. This means you don’t need to identify specifically with a particular group to join the community and the conversation.
