Inclusion & Impact Group
At Coupa, we believe in a workforce where diversity expands, equity accelerates performance, and inclusion unlocks the full potential of every single employee.
Unlocking potential for every person
Enhancing workplace diversity
To ensure representation of diverse groups at all levels across the organization, we deploy targeted recruitment and retention strategies including mentorship and sponsorship programs, and ensure ongoing success with measurable diversity metrics.
Promoting equitable practices
To ensure every employee has equitable access to opportunities, resources, and benefits, we conduct regular compensation analyses, provide ongoing access to career development resources, and follow an unbiased performance evaluation process.
Creating an inclusive climate
To ensure every employee feels valued, respected, and included, we conduct regular DEI training, actively support Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) to build connections, and ensure inclusive policies for flexible work arrangements, language, and more.
Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)
Our global ERGs are integral to building belonging and inclusion. They offer a safe space for employee connection around affinities such as race, ethnicity, religion, gender identity, or veteran status.

Unintentional bias
To foster inclusivity and build our welcoming and diverse culture, we offer several skillbuilding opportunities around unintentional bias. We recently hosted workshops for over 50 employees in senior leadership roles to learn how to identify and mitigate subtle biases that impact decision-making and workplace culture.
Organizational pay equity
We are committed to a yearly pay equity analysis to identify any disparities related to gender or race — or both — and address those gaps to ensure equitable pay outcomes for every employee.
Building leadership success
With a commitment to equity and inclusivity comes tactical approaches for leadership. These workshops and efforts are just a few of the ways we ensure success.
Inclusive Leadership workshops
With a focus on unconscious bias and mitigation strategies, these workshops include interactive sessions and practical exercises to give employees the tools to recognize and address their own biases.
Inclusive Leadership cohort
Our inaugural cohort included carefully selected leaders from across the business. Anonymous feedback from peers and direct reports helped identify inclusivity strengths and opportunities to drive change.
McKinsey Connected Leaders
The McKinsey Connected Leaders Academy is a pioneering professional development program designed to foster inclusive leadership and equip participants with the insights and strategies they need to excel.
