D&I
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

We don’t just value differences—we prefer them.

Our Commitment

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. "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." - Qadira Harris, Senior Director, Global Responsibility at Matterport.

D&I - The importance of Employee Resource Groups.

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.

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.
D&I - Generating Connections

Generating Connection.

Bi-monthly, Matterpeeps come together to discuss global issues, momentous events or other high-profile topics that may lead to misunderstanding or division. These Courageous Discussions forums provide our Matterpeeps with the opportunity to share their feelings in a non-political, respectful atmosphere, while enabling them to learn from each other and understand different perspectives. Topics can range from current affairs to disability, neurodiversity and what it means to be an ally.
D&I - Providing opportunity.

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.

“Our ERG is a great approach to connect about disabilities or topics that we currently experience or may experience. It’s one of understanding, maintaining a positive outlook and adapting. It has helped me immensely and I hope to help others in the same way.”
