At Gusto, the work is never done

GUSTO’S MISSION IS TO CREATE A WORLD WHERE WORK EMPOWERS A BETTER LIFE.

Now serving over 200,000 businesses, Gusto processes hundreds of billions of dollars of payroll and provides employee benefits—medical insurance, HR and compliance support, financial benefits like 401(k)s and 529 plans, and more—all while helping companies create incredible workplaces.?

The company is also writing the book on diversity reporting, starting by evaluating itself in its inaugural RISE Report. Gusto’s RISE strategy aims to succeed in four key areas:

REPRESENTATION

The workforce through the entire employee life cycle—attracting, inviting, hiring, onboarding, engagement, and retention—reflects the demographics of the U.S. at all levels of the company and across all functions and teams.

INCLUSION

Every employee feels a sense of belonging. Employees foster allyship and build community, connection, and coalitions. Leaders at every level understand why inclusion and diversity matters and amplify the message so it becomes embedded in the organization.

SOCIAL IMPACT

The company leverages the mission and purpose of the platform using its position and capabilities to promote social impact, do meaningful work, make a difference in society, and plant seeds to positively impact others.

EQUITY

The company culture and structure produce equitable opportunities for everyone, decreasing bias and creating a level playing field.?

IN GUSTO’S OWN WORDS:

"Our inaugural RISE report isn’t just a progress report. It’s a promise to do more and do better. When it comes to diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts, the biggest trap any company can fall into is that the work is going to be done. This work is never done—there’s no arrival or destination point. There’s no checkered flag or box to check. This work is ongoing. And ultimately that’s what drives us—to keep going, keep evolving, keep striving for better despite hurdles and challenges along the way."
