Using People Powered Data to Improve our World

To unlock the potential of People Powered Data to improve our world and to give everyone a voice. This idea drives how we do business and inspires our troop to do their best work.

We are passionately committed to making the communities where we live and work better places for all. The stronger our communities are, the stronger we are. We do this through our strategic giving initiatives, SurveyMonkey Contribute and our Social Impact Fund, empowering each new Troop member by making giving back a part of our new hire onboarding for each and every SurveyMonkey employee, and encouraging people to volunteer and engage with the organizations and issues that matter most to them — ones that have a direct impact on the local communities in which they live and work.

One example of our commitment to giving back is our annual company-wide Week of Service. Our late CEO, Dave Goldberg, was passionate about giving back. To honor Dave’s legacy, passion, and commitment, we celebrate his birthday each year with a week dedicated to community service. Employees in each office are encouraged to #makedaveproud by volunteering in their communities, engaging in team-based give-back activities, and making an impact in a way that is meaningful to each Troop member.

At SurveyMonkey, our ethos is to cultivate diverse, equitable and inclusive communities, both within our workplace and beyond.  As a place where the Curious Come to Grow, we are devoted to cultivating a collaborative and inclusive workplace where curiosity is celebrated and where everyone—no matter their background—can succeed, feel a sense of belonging, and learn from one another.  We value the participation and contributions of all employees, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, age, religion, disabilities, sexual orientation, and experience. 

At SurveyMonkey, Diversity & Inclusion is backed by strong leadership and a genuine belief in standing up for what’s right. We are committed to building environments, within our offices and beyond, where all people can thrive and be their authentic selves. 

We know that Diversity, Equity & Inclusion improves employee experience, helps us understand and better serve our customers, and makes us a stronger business.

A sense of belonging and purpose is crucial for people to thrive.

The more our employees feel a sense of belonging and purpose, the more energized they become to effect positive social change. The greater the impact their efforts have, the more they dedicate themselves to this work.

To cultivate inclusive and equitable workplaces where everyone feels a true sense of belonging, we created a Belonging and Inclusion Survey Template that focuses on three key components of inclusion, each based on research by Stanford University experts, as well as a Diversity and Inclusion Guide that companies can use to evaluate and build upon the impact of their diversity and inclusion efforts.

We want to use technology to build a better world — to improve the health of institutions, people, and the planet.

We believe passionately in the power of data to help people solve tough problems and effect change. Our technology and our people, together, power our ability to create impact through data and bring value to customers.

Technology for Good takes this one step further. This initiative enables us to use technology – our own and others’ – to champion human rights; empower the voiceless; and create a more inclusive, just, and sustainable world.
