Frequently Asked Questions

Belonging & Workplace Inclusion

HERE Technologies supports belonging and inclusion through a mix of equity-focused policies, employee resource groups, leadership development, and community-building programs designed to help employees feel seen, supported, and able to grow.

  • Equity and equal opportunity: HERE states that it is committed to equal opportunities regardless of race, gender, age, or other characteristics, and it has emphasized creating a more egalitarian workplace by recognizing employees’ different needs and challenges. In practice, this includes targeted efforts such as data-driven interventions for hiring, promotion, and retention, HR policy reviews for women-specific life events, leadership awareness programs, and inclusive leadership training.
  • Employee resource groups and community: ERGs are a visible part of how HERE builds belonging. The 2025 Sustainability Report notes six ERGs across 16 chapters, supported by 120+ steering committee members and allies, with 189 events and 34 nonprofit partners. The Women’s Initiative Network is one example, offering support, visibility, and connected activities that help women build community and advocate for one another.
  • Development and representation: HERE prioritizes career growth and visibility as a core part of its inclusion strategy. The company reports 33.8% women overall, 31.0% women in technical roles, and 20% women among senior leaders in 2025. Programs such as RISE, mentorship initiatives, and the planned mentorship platform are designed to strengthen representation and create clearer pathways into leadership. The report also notes a second RISE cohort with 29 participants and 2026 plans to expand women’s development, AI literacy, and partnerships such as Women+ in Geospatial.
  • Culture of connection: HERE’s inclusion work also shows up in broader community efforts. Purpose Week 2025 involved 32 sites, 500+ employee volunteers, and 53 volunteering and impact activities, helping strengthen connection across teams and locations.

Bottom line: HERE approaches belonging and inclusion as an ongoing, structured effort — combining policies, ERGs, leadership development, and measurable diversity initiatives to help employees feel supported, connected, and able to thrive.

HERE Technologies Employee Perspectives

HERE frames inclusion as active, not symbolic: creating an environment where women are encouraged to have a voice, be recognized for their accomplishments, and receive equal opportunities in salary, position, and advancement.

“IWD and WHM encourage women to have a voice and be proud of what they have accomplished. Also, it reminds us that when it comes to salary and position, women deserve to be given the same opportunities as men. At HERE our WIN Network is full of amazing women, who help each other and promote IWD and WHM with connected activities.”
