Our vision + mission
A place where everyone is accepted everywhere, that’s where we want to be.
We’re building an environment where diverse backgrounds and perspectives are celebrated and drive success inside our company and out in our communities.
We use the power of our brand, industry influence and collective voice to spark positive change in the communities we work and live in.
Equal pay
We believe in equal pay for equal work. That’s why we signed the 2016 Equal Pay Pledge to show our commitment to closing the U.S. gender wage gap, joined other companies to form Employers for Pay Equity and look inside our own walls to make sure Visa is an environment where everyone can thrive.
Jobs for Youth
Our goal is to fuel the workforce of tomorrow, today. We launched a pilot program with the non-profit Springboard Initiative to train and place students from underserved communities in high tech jobs. We also support the White House First Job Compact in looking for ways to connect young people to early career opportunities.
Marriage Equality
At Visa, we say love is accepted everywhere. We have received a 100% score on the Human Rights Campaign Corporate Equality Index for the past three years, and are proud to be known as a “Best Place to Work” for LGBTQ+ equality. We also joined major U.S. corporations in urging the Supreme Court to strike down laws prohibiting same sex marriage.
It takes all of us to make Visa a place where everyone feels they belong. So, we provide our people with tools and training to become more aware and informed professionals … and people.
Our Executive Committee is responsible for overseeing our diversity and inclusion efforts together with our CEO and Chief Diversity Officer. At least quarterly, the Committee meets to review, recommend and develop opportunities to enhance our D&I initiatives, model diverse and inclusive behaviors and drive accountability for our program and results.
Our Diversity & Inclusion College within Visa University includes tools, trainings and resources to help employees become more aware and informed. It’s available to every employee, everywhere.
We also instituted Unconscious Bias Training to help identify and eliminate hidden stereotypes and biases. And, all people managers are encouraged to complete Inclusive Leadership Training to drive inclusion on an individual, team and company level.
