Allyship at F5
To build a diverse and inclusive culture, everyone at F5 must commit to speaking up against bias and microaggressions…but what does that look like? In this video, F5ers share their stories.
We’re Committed to a Diverse and Inclusive F5
Our mission: Together, we actively build a culture where everyone feels they can be themselves and reach their full potential.
We know the magic ingredient is our differences, when embraced with humility and respect. And because we know this, we believe that top talent is found in a diversity of individual backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives.
Our 2023 Diversity & Inclusion Report
At F5, we’re committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace where everyone can be themselves and reach their full potential. Check out our 2023 D&I report to learn about our journey to date and our path to growth using the IDEA framework: Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Allyship.
BeF5 is made up of five core behaviors that define how we express our culture in the day-to-day.
Our differences—when embraced with humility and respect—drive smarter decisions, increased innovation, stronger performance, and a culture where everyone can be themselves.
In other words, we talk the talk and walk the walk. And, to help make sure of that, we offer a mix of online and in-person diversity and inclusion awareness opportunities and experiences to meet employees, teams, and leaders where they’re at.
WE SEEK THE BEST, AND THEN GIVE THEM THE TOOLS TO BE EVEN BETTER
It’s what we do.
Hiring people with diverse backgrounds and experiences isn’t just that right thing to do. It’s also the smart thing to do. It helps us create better products and services, make better decisions, and better serve our customers.
We’ve expanded our outreach and involvement with organizations to increase our ability to attract highly qualified candidates from under-represented backgrounds. We’re also expanding diversity sourcing by including more online resources and strategic community partnerships.
We offer consistent support and resources to help people grow—professionally and personally. We help people expand their skillsets—including their capabilities to build inclusive team environments where everyone is seen, heard, and valued. F5 is a place where everyone is welcome and has the opportunity to succeed.
"AT F5, WE VALUE EACH other…
…We acknowledge and build on the contributions and strengths of others. We support each other by putting the human first. We show up as real, vulnerable, transparent human beings who speak from the heart and willingly invest our time to help each other grow.”
François Locoh-Donou
President, Chief Executive Officer, and Director
