We don’t just value differences - we prefer them
As a global company, Matterport is committed to creating a diverse workforce reflective of our users, customers, and the communities where we live and work.
Encourage and celebrate differences
Every employee should feel valued, experience a sense of belonging, and be confident they can make a meaningful contribution as their authentic selves.
We aim to recruit the best and the brightest, offer continuous learning and engagement, and foster open dialogue and feedback. Our policies and products are designed to be fair and inclusive with equity at the core.
"Achieving a diverse and inclusive workplace is a journey that requires action, trust, fairness, empathy, respect, transparency, and accountability. It’s the right thing to do and the only way to operate."

The importance of Employee Resource Groups
Sharing personal and professional experiences and your own identity is the first step for creating an inclusive culture. Our groups offer a safe platform to begin conversations and connect on a deeper level.

Providing opportunity
We value a diverse and inclusive workplace where employees are given opportunities to continue their development journey. Our EMERGE Program (Elevating Matterpeep’s Empowerment, Retention, Growth, and Excellence) expands underrepresented employees’ access to talent development to foster leadership skills and business acumen through a diversity, equity, and inclusion lens. This six-week program is open to employees who identify as BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) and/or identify as women or another marginalized gender. Through discussion, learning sessions, mentorship exposure, and group collaborations, our 18 participants in 2023 were able to grow professionally and make valuable connections with senior leadership and Matterpeeps from across the organization.
Building an inclusive Matterport
A world-class workforce requires talented people from a variety of experiences - for culture add, not culture fit. Our goal is to create an inclusive workplace that brings out the best in each individual to build the best teams.
Using data to provide insight
We collect qualitative data through listening sessions and surveys to assess who makes up our organization. This information helps us identify potential opportunity gaps of a truly diverse workforce.
Resources to support growth
We offer employee resources to support each individual journey. Our self-guided toolkit includes Employee Resource Groups, an inclusion Slack channel devoted to informal discussions, and an internal inclusion site with key definitions, articles, challenges, and quizzes.
Training to prepare our teams
Beyond giving managers the tools they need to be inclusive leaders and execute diversity and inclusion goals, we also train all employees on how to recognize and respond to unconscious bias.
Recognition
We believe every employee should feel valued, experience a sense of belonging, and be confident they can make a meaningful contribution as their authentic selves. We’re proud of the many awards we have received including:
Happiest Employees, Best Career Growth 2022, Best CEOs for Diversity 2022, and Best CEOs for Women 2022. Additional Comparably Awards received by Matterport can be found here.
