Our commitment to fostering a safe and inclusive work environment
Employees should feel a sense of belonging at work, see role models who have similar backgrounds and life experiences, and have the same opportunities and chances to succeed. We commit to the following goals:
Creating opportunities for success at every level
We proactively notify all employees who are qualified to participate in the company's Leadership Development Program and work with leaders across the organization to comprehensively develop and support their talent.
Creating a space where everyone belongs
We cultivate a sense of belonging through 20+ company-supported employee resource groups.
Forming deeper connections through virtual and in-person gatherings
We unite folks from various locations through organized virtual discussions, events, and panels that bring together people with common social identities, characteristics, or life experiences, as well as their allies. As a remote workforce, we recognize the importance of intentional face-to-face interactions. Throughout the year, we arrange in-person gatherings to facilitate team collaboration, learning, and meaningful personal connections.
Turning away business from offensive clients
We recognize the need to address offensive clients and prospective clients who use racially-charged or other abusive language in their communication with our employees. We do not want their business and will not tolerate hate speech directed at our employees.
Continuing the conversation
There’s always more work to do. We designed a company-wide workshop curriculum on inclusion and belonging to create fluency around these topics and to support our employees in a proactive way.

Our values
Since Yelp was founded, our values have remained the same. They are the guiding force for the many experiences that are created at Yelp. They provide the framework for who we hire, who we promote, and how we get things done.

Be tenacious.
Battle smart and fight 'til the end. Live for the underdog moments. Turn mistakes into opportunities to learn.

Play well with others.
Treat others with respect. Value diversity in viewpoints. Bring a positive attitude to the table.

Be unboring.
Never settle for standard. Creativity over conformity. Be your remarkable self.

Protect the source.
Community and consumers come first. If we don't maintain consumer trust, we won't have anything to offer local businesses.

Authenticity.
Tell the truth. Be straightforward and over-communicate.
No need to spin things.

The foundation of our diversity efforts are closely tied to our core values, which include “Playing Well With Others” and “Authenticity.”

We’re proud to be an equal opportunity employer and consider qualified applicants without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, ancestry, age, genetic information, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital or family status, veteran status, medical condition or disability.
