Yext Employee Perspectives
Yext’s leaders demonstrate their commitment to building an inclusive workplace by taking an active role in DEI initiatives and employee resource groups. The company encourages managers to participate directly, while executive sponsors provide visible support from the highest levels of the organization, reinforcing that inclusion is a shared leadership responsibility.
“Really imploring our teams and our managers in particular to be more involved with DEI and ERGs has also really helped. Not to mention, we have onboarded three new executive ERG sponsors in the past year for a total of 8 executive sponsors. To me, this signals a real and important change in the fact that Yext leaders from the top-down are invested in, involved, and will continue to be involved in DEI initiatives.”
