Airbnb has been named to the Parity.Org Best Companies for Women to AdvanceTM List for 2022. We are proud to share this the second year in a row we’ve received this recognition. The ParityLISTTM recognizes organizations that are creating a culture and conditions in which women can rise through recruiting, promotion, and compensation practices, leadership representation, and benefits and policies that collectively help companies achieve gender parity.
The parity problem is complex–but it’s not insurmountable. The extraordinary performance of this year’s honorees proves that a genuine commitment and focus, coupled with the right tools, measures, and practices, will absolutely move the needle toward fairness.
