Ping Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Our culture, our community, your future
Our Mission
At Ping Identity, we believe in championing every identity. We are committed to building a diverse, equitable and inclusive environment that ultimately creates a sense of belonging for all Identians. When we think about DEI, we think of it in its broadest sense, including—but, not limited to—family or marital status, generation, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, diversity of thought, ethnicity, race, language, geography, national origin, visible and invisible abilities, socio-economic status, veteran status and/or religion that make our employees unique.
Achieving a sense of belonging is at the heart of our efforts to raise up all Identians. Only when we truly listen and hear each other, explore different points of view and celebrate what makes each of us unique, can we create a culture that strives to make each and every one of us feel safe at work.
At Ping Identity, we aspire to build a diverse workforce and an inclusive culture that fosters a place of belonging for everyone.
Company Initiatives
We’re aspiring to build a workplace where all Identians belong and thrive.
Corporate
We believe having an inclusion strategy is a business imperative. We have a multi-pronged strategy which starts with a strong foundation to support our initiatives and programming efforts year-over-year. Ultimately, our goal is to foster a place of belonging for every Identian.
Partners
To support us in our journey we have partnered with premiere diversity organizations. Through these partnerships, we broaden our access to diverse talent in recruitment and also offer learning and resource opportunities to our employees.
Community Spotlight
Ping Identity was the presenting sponsor for Denver-based Girls & Science and featured female software engineers as mentors, gave STEM career advice, and provided real-life scenarios on “proving your identity” to introduce and get young girls excited about careers in digital identity and cyber security.
Driving Change
Aligned with our business strategy, we’ve identified four areas of focus to drive change:
- The Ping Way—enforce our core values, including respecting diversity
- Talent & Sustainability—improve attraction, retention, development and engagement of Identians
- Innovation and Business Success—encourage leadership accountability and set key metrics and goals to monitor our progress
- Community Commitment—support passionate Identians wanting to make a difference in their communities
Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)
ERGs are an exciting way to get involved and open to everyone! They drive recruitment, improve retention and engagement of our Identians, and help foster a place of belonging for all.

Celebrating differences as strengths, not weaknesses, and empowering Identians to bring their authentic selves to work, especially for those with racial and ethnic backgrounds that are underrepresented in tech.
Ping Young Professionals

Communities of Interest
We also have Communities of Interest for Identians to get involved in, including working families, accessibilities and veterans.
Helping Hands Day
At Ping Identity, culture is not a spectator sport, and neither is the support needed from our communities and the people in them. Serving our local communities is a great way to find your “one” and bring the impossible to not impossible. Follow along on social media using the hashtag #PingHelpingHandsDay.
