Embracing diversity
Attracting the best talent from the widest pool is only the beginning.
Celebrating intersectionality
In striving to create truly equitable systems, we recognize and affirm all the identities that make us
unique.
Challenging biases
Building teams that invite new ideas showcases our commitment to inclusion in the design of our products
and services.
Valuing all perspectives
We prioritize diversity, equity, and inclusion at every stage of the employee experience, attracting candidates with inclusive recruitment practices, retaining talent with intentionally flexible ways of working, and nurturing our workforce with opportunities for mentorship and connection.
“ Commitment is only a first step. Action has to follow. We work each day to listen and affirm those around us, learn through lived experiences, and prioritize progress over comfort. This is the only way that we'll build and sustain a workplace where people are inspired to do their best work in service of building products that move us all. ”
Shamayne Braman
Chief People Officer
With initiatives such as our Supplier Diversity Program and thoughtful efforts to expand the Sonos Beta testing
pool, we're continually looking for new ways to integrate diversity and inclusion into our business.

Through our employee resource groups, we support respected spaces for everyone to experience the benefits of
community and harness their collective power to drive impactful change.
To create lasting systemic change, we assess our policies through an equity lens and actively remedy any gaps. Every other year, we conduct a comprehensive wage assessment for our global workforce. Our most recent analysis in FY21 showed no statistically significant negative impact on any demographic group. While proud of this outcome, we will continue to explore and understand the experience of all Sonos employees as we plan for another assessment in FY23.
