Belonging at Verkada
Our Commitment to Belonging
At Verkada, we believe that when people feel they belong, they’re more innovative, successful and happy. Feeling a sense of belonging enhances your experience, helps you to create stronger relationships with customers and ultimately empowers you to build better teams, products and futures. To that end, we’re committed to fostering an equitable and inclusive workplace that allows everyone to thrive. Here are some of the things we are doing today.
Employee Resource Groups
We foster community through our Employee Resource Groups. These groups actively create moments of connection, learning and support for our employees. From inviting renowned experts to speak to employees about personal brand building for women, to partnering with community nonprofits, their work helps bring Verkada employees closer to their communities and each other.
Communities at Verkada
Our communities are key to bringing together peers with common interests, hobbies and affinities.
Giving Back

Through Verkada Gives, our global community engagement initiative, we offer employees regular opportunities to give back to important causes.
