What is RISE?

RISE (Representation, Inclusion, Social Impact, Equity) is our framework for diversity and belonging. It's a holistic mission to ensure that no matter where you're from, how you look, or how you live, you feel empowered and accepted at Gusto. The sum of nearly a decade of learnings, RISE is our commitment to build a company we're proud of, that represents the world and businesses we serve.

Representation

We do our best to ensure Gusto’s entire workforce reflects all demographics of our country.

Inclusion

We foster allyship, community, and connections so that every Gustie feels like they belong.

Social impact

We leverage our platform for good to make the world a better place.

Equity

We create a level playing field with processes that include tailored opportunities for all, to drive equal outcomes.

Our commitment to diversity and belonging is more than just an idea. At Gusto, we provide opportunities for our people to learn, discuss, and engage with one another about today’s most relevant issues.

RISE in Onboarding

New hires bring their amazing identities to Gusto and we couldn’t be more grateful. This session showcases Gusto’s approach to Representation, Inclusion, Social Impact, and Equity (RISE).

RISE Bites

Weekly sessions that provide our employees with tools that positively impact their work experience through guidance on RISE, self-improvement, and leveraging all of Gusto’s resources.

Our affinity groups.

One of the many ways we foster a diverse, inclusive workspace is through employee-led “with Gusto” affinity groups. Open to all Gusties, they’re a great way to connect with like-minded people. In addition, we offer interest groups for baking, cycling, dogs, sustainability, and more.
