People policies
Mattermost is dedicated to fostering an inclusive workplace, and we prohibit harassment and discrimination of all staff and job applicants regardless of gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, neurodiversity, physical appearance, body size, ethnicity, nationality, race, age, religion, veteran status, or other protected categories. We do not tolerate harassment or discrimination and take violations of our policy seriously and will respond appropriately.
Mattermost will ensure that all employment actions, including but not limited to recruitment, hiring, selection for training, promotion, transfer, demotion, layoff, recall, termination, rates of pay, or other forms of compensation, will be administered without regard to one’s protected class, including a disability or status as a protected veteran. Mattermost will also provide qualified applicants and employees with disabilities with needed reasonable accommodations, as required by law, and will ensure that all employment decisions are based only on valid job requirements.
Any employee or applicant who believes that they have been subject to harassment because of their protected status should promptly contact a manager in their chain of command, or promptly contact the Director of Human Resources at 650-667-8512 for assistance. Employees or applicants may also file a written complaint with the office of the Director of Human Resources, 530 Lytton Avenue, Second Floor, Palo Alto, 94301.
