Diversity & Inclusion at Brex
Brandon Sidney (Manager, Culture Programs)
- Brex prides itself on creating a culture of inclusion that celebrates the diversity it naturally attracts. Rather than minimize our differences, we applaud them for the richness they add to our workforce and our ability to make informed decisions. Brex employees represent more than 40 nationalities and speak more than 30 languages, resulting in an elaborate backdrop against which individuals grow and thrive
- Relying on a range of talents, interests, perspectives, and backgrounds -- and united by a common mission -- employees are encouraged to reach across perceived boundaries to collaborate and solve complex problems. Brex’s success relies on the wide range of perspectives and ideas available to teams and decision-makers
- Featuring an intense customer focus and unrivaled global ambition, we created a culture where every voice has a platform, regardless of background or origin
- When we made the decision to embrace a “remote-first” culture, it gave us the opportunity to reimagine how we do things from the ground up, and that includes our approach to diversity. We are erasing the muscle memory of how a company traditionally operates. In its place, we’re building a culture of connection, inclusion, and transparency, where everyone is on an equal footing regardless of where they live
- Our company culture survey results show that 91% of the company believes Brex is an inclusive place to work, and 89% believe Brex values diversity – both of which reflect highly on our commitment to diversity
- Diversity is more than just a number. It’s also about the way that we invest in our culture and communities at Brex. With our investment in connection, we embrace our company value of One Brex and weave diversity into everything we do as a culture and a company
