GoDaddy 2024 Sustainability Report: People & Culture
Originally published in GoDaddy's 2024 Sustainability Report
Employee Experience
Inclusivity, engagement, and development are the three key values we uphold to ensure our employees are satisfied and feel valued.
We actively seek individuals who bring enthusiasm, curiosity, and a passion for what we do. Attracting and retaining the most qualified talent from around the world who help represent our diverse customers is a key priority for us, and we strive to create an environment where everyone feels represented, valued, and truly included. Once here, our employees can expect to feel heard and supported by the community around them. From our GoDaddy Voice survey to Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), we strive to incorporate employee feedback wherever possible to further our people priorities.
GoDaddy takes a human-centered approach focused on individual needs, and we are constantly evolving, evaluating our processes to ensure they are free from bias and advancing inclusivity in all aspects of our operations.
Inclusive Recruitment
We continuously work to have hiring, development, and retention practices that enable GoDaddy to be an employer of choice for talent globally. This includes showcasing our inclusive culture and principles, and reaching broad, diverse candidate groups. Our practices include:
Interviewer Training
Equipping our teams with the tools and training they need to succeed is key to fair hiring processes. To support this, we offer an interviewer certification with in-depth training modules on best practices for creating a great and inclusive candidate experience and minimizing bias throughout the recruitment process.
TEXAS CONFERENCE FOR WOMEN
The Texas Conference for Women provides connection, motivation, networking, inspiration, and skill building for thousands of women each year. The one-day conference, open to any gender, offers incredible opportunities for business networking, professional development, and personal growth.
In 2024, GoDaddy Chief Marketing Officer Fara Howard joined as a panelist for the 'AI: Shaping the Future of Work' session. It's a privilege to have strong leaders like Fara motivating our employees as part of our Leadership Team, and her contributions to the panel helped inspire talent within the industry.
Employee Engagement
Engaging a global, hybrid workforce means fostering connection, collaboration, and a strong sense of purpose—no matter where employees work. We prioritize clear communication, meaningful development opportunities, and an inclusive culture where everyone feels valued. We do this through multiple employee engagement programs:
Employee Resource Groups
Our ERGs play an important role in fostering a workplace where all employees benefit from the opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed. ERGs are voluntary, employee-led groups open to everyone that focus on the common topics, identities, affinities, and interests that matter to our people. These groups provide a space for employees to develop relationships, enhance professional development (both for themselves and others), engage in projects and programs, learn new skills, and have fun.
ERGs help empower GoDaddy's business priorities across talent, learning, business, and community development. Our 11 Global ERGs:
ERG WORLD TOUR
New for 2024, our ERG World Tour was designed to provide all employees with the opportunity to engage with our ERGs. An impressive 10% of our global workforce participated in this initiative to meet new people and discover these impactful communities within our organization. Employees were encouraged to drop in, connect with others from around the world, learn more about our ERGs and the topics important to them, and potentially find a community they'd like to be a part of.
Employee Feedback
We aim to create a working environment and culture in which our employees feel respected and supported to do their best work, and listening to our employees is a critical component of our talent management approach. Through GoDaddy Voice, our annual engagement survey, we learn firsthand from our employees what is working and where we need to improve. In 2024, 84% of our employees participated in the GoDaddy Voice survey.
