Last year at Mozilla Corporation we shared publicly for the first time<\/a> how our workforce diversity numbers measured up to our ideals and to represent the people we serve. Today, we are sharing an update below on our continued work in this area. Overall, we made solid progress in 2018 — more than most in the open source sector<\/a> — but we still have a lot more work to do. We are still lagging behind where we want and need to be.<\/p>\n

The Mozilla Corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of the non-profit Mozilla Foundation<\/a>. With just over 1,050 employees globally, our focus is on building products and services (like Firefox<\/a>, Firefox Monitor<\/a> and Pocket<\/a>) and exploring new technologies<\/a> to give people more control over their online lives and help shape the future of the internet for the public good.<\/p>\n

We are committed to sharing our diversity and inclusion results every year to hold ourselves accountable to creating an inspiring workplace where no one feels like an only.<\/p>\n

Increasing diversity at Mozilla<\/h2>\n

Last year for the first time, Mozilla\u2019s senior leadership<\/a> set diversity accountability goals for the organization. We focused on two areas to start: the number of women in technical roles globally and representation of underrepresented minorities in the United States.<\/p>\n

Gender (Global)<\/h2>\n

In 2018, a key goal was increasing our number of women in technical roles and we grew from 13.2% to 17.4%. While this year-over-year representation increase is well above the industry average, we are still lagging behind on overall representation. Women also made up 40.4% of hires overall and 33.7% of technical hires. We have increased representation of women overall from 24.4% to 28.3%. Women represent 39.1% of all people managers (up from 36.0%), with 41.2% representation of women in executive leadership<\/a> roles (up from 33.3%)*<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Underrepresented Minority Groups (United States)<\/h2>\n

Last year, we set a goal of increasing representation of underrepresented minorities. We increased representation from 6.9% to 7.9% falling short of our goal of 8.9%. We continue to be committed to achieving increased representation.<\/p>\n

12.4% of all people hired in 2018 were from underrepresented minority groups (flat from 2017), and 36.2% of all new employees are People of Color (up from 35.2%). We have increased the representation of Black Mozillians to 2.7% (up from 1.8%) and Latinx Mozillians to 4% (up from 3.9%) in 2018.<\/p>\n

Building a more inclusive Mozilla<\/h2>\n

We aim to create a working environment where everyone can thrive and do their best work. In our 2018 employee engagement survey we focused on two key questions: \u201cI would feel safe reporting harassment, bullying, or other inappropriate behavior if I felt the need,\u201d and \u201cEmployees with a diversity of backgrounds, culture and experiences can be leaders at Mozilla.\u201d The goal was to increase the affirmative scores above 80% on these questions and to narrow the gap between women\u2019s and men\u2019s experiences. While the overall scores increased, so too did the gaps between women\u2019s and men\u2019s experiences.<\/p>\n

We know it is not enough to increase the representation of underrepresented groups at Mozilla. We also need to make sure that we have a work culture that accepts and values difference and a workplace where people can be their whole selves. That requires a variety of initiatives that support people in the multiple ways that make them who they are.<\/p>\n

In 2018, to make Mozilla more inclusive internally, we:<\/p>\n
