At Asana, we’re building a better way to work

We believe a diverse workforce helps us better understand the needs of our diverse user base and innovate in new and creative ways. We approach diversity, inclusion, & belonging (DIB) as an ongoing and integrated process, not something to be achieved. In order for our employees to do their best work, and for us to achieve our mission, everyone at Asana must feel respected, valued, and welcomed into the Asana community.

Employee Resource Groups foster trusted, safe spaces

Our employee resource groups are thriving communities that foster trusted, safe spaces for underrepresented groups and allies. Asana has seven ERGs that are a foundational part of our inclusive culture:

In addition to ERGs, we have several employee-driven communities such as Thrive, a community for Asanas and allies focused on mental health, and Asanable, our community for Asanas with disabilities and their allies, and more.

Pay equity for all Asanas

We aim for fairness and consistency in Asanas’ compensation. We design our pay programs with equity in mind, taking specific steps to minimize the potential impact of negotiation or implicit bias on pay outcomes, such as clearly defining pay bands for each role and offering formulaic guidance to managers for new hire packages, merit increases, and refresh awards.

We also partner with an outside vendor to analyze pay by gender identity for our global employees, and by race/ethnicity for our US employees, as part of our biannual compensation cycle. The goal is to identify any systemic bias in our compensation outcomes, and we maintain a dedicated budget to proactively close statistically significant gaps identified by these analyses. 

Asana Acts Against Racism 

Asana Acts Against Racism is a formalization of anti-racist efforts co-created with Asana employees. We are taking action along three lines:

  • Take care: Holding space for, and embracing, our internal communities
  • Take responsibility: Rooted in our value of give and take responsibility, meaning we facilitate self-learning and invite participation in allyship work and other activities
  • Take action: An evolution and expansion of our internal and external programs, policies, and hiring practices, including strengthening our commitments to representation, equity, and inclusion

Career Growth

At Asana we invest in our employees so they can make the most of their unique talents and skills. We want to help you achieve your personal and professional goals, all while making the biggest impact possible.

We believe that everyone has a unique path, and career growth isn’t linear, so our programs are designed to support multiple directions and areas of growth. A supportive environment that challenges you to do great things, fast, and practice mindfulness as we grow and scale, will set you up for success. 

Every employee at Asana is empowered to take on big responsibilities that impact our success as a company. Your manager, teammates, and leaders will trust you to move work forward and make decisions. We’ll give you the support and tools you need to achieve your goals. And you can determine your path to get there.

Here are some of the ways we ensure that every Asana is constantly learning and growing: 

  • Success guides: We aim to provide every Asana with clarity on what success looks like in their role and at their level. Success guides are tailored to each team and help us maintain a growth mindset so that you can continue to improve yourself, each other, and the value we bring to our customers.
  • Areas of Responsibility: Every employee at Asana is empowered to take on big responsibilities that impact our success as a company. Areas of Responsibility (AoRs) distribute responsibility among the greater team, and allow individuals to take on projects and initiatives that may be outside of what is typical for their role.
  • Free executive coaching sessions: Every employee can choose from experienced, professional coaches and get 6 free sessions per year, or 9 sessions for people managers.
  • Manager community with year-round training & enablement: Investing in managers critical to supporting every employee's growth and development. Managers have access to Outstanding Manager Bootcamp courses year-round, as well as guides and resources, to ensure that they are building their leadership skills and setting their team up for success.

Being real

Our best work happens when we can be our authentic selves. Being fully authentic—with ourselves and with each other—unlocks our ability to collaborate and grow. By creating true community, we give employees a sense of feeling seen, safe, and heard, no matter what. 

We strive to create equitable opportunities for people of all backgrounds, with an emphasis on communities from underrepresented groups. 

We’re building an environment that continues to be intentional around inclusion for everyone—no matter where they work. Our goal is to create a culture of belonging, so you can be your authentic self at work every day. Here’s how we put this into practice at Asana:

  • 6 Employee Resource groups for community & connection

We do great things fast, but never at the expense of our personal health. We’ve found that you can do your best work when you’re able to prioritize the things that matter most to you, such as:

  • Global holidays & company days off to recharge
  • Company wide “No Meeting Wednesday” to allow for maximum focus time
  • Work from home Wednesday and Friday
  • Paid time off
  • Sabbatical every 4 years
  • Hybrid schedule for flexibility
