Our People

We greatly value inclusion, diversity and encourage the mutual respect of others. We condemn all forms of racism, discrimination, hatred and inhumanity. These toxic forces undermine the values we hold dear and work exhaustively to cultivate in our company and our communities.

What I really want is for employees to feel as though they have a vested interest in inclusion, equity and diversity. This work is not just for “underrepresented” groups. There’s something for everyone.

Building Leadership Skills Across Our Company

As part of our many career development initiatives, managers take part in our LEAD Management Development Program, a custom-built learning experience created specifically for Progress managers. At its heart, the program is a learning experience with a single-word focus: LEAD.

Progress Proud

What does it mean to be #ProgressProud?

It’s the excitement of collaborating with amazing people. It’s the satisfaction of working on industry-leading products. It’s being empowered by shared purpose—solving customer problems and helping them excel in their industries. It’s about working hard to create a community where everyone can bring their whole selves to work.

It’s the pride that comes from being part of a company where people matter for who they are.

We are looking for a Chief Inclusion and Diversity Officer to join us as we challenge ourselves and the businesses that we support to think about inclusion, diversity, and equality differently.

Watch Progress CEO Yogesh Gupta and CPO Katie Kulikoski have an open conversation about racial and social justice and the steps Progress is taking to foster inclusion and diversity in the workplace and in our local communities.
