The people behind our purpose
Representation, inclusion, and belonging at Xero
Xero serves customers in more than 180 countries around the world. Our customers represent many different cultures, walks of life, and personal experiences. Building a workforce that reflects the communities we serve is critical to delivering our purpose and the key to a high-performance culture. By creating an environment where everyone can feel a sense of belonging, we're able to attract the best talent, foster greater innovation, and deliver the best value for our customers.
Inclusion is a daily practice for all of us. We’re guided by a deep respect for each other's identities and a belief that every perspective adds value. Our diversity, inclusion and belonging (DIB) efforts guide our workplace inclusion principles.
Our philosophy in practice
Fostering a gender-balanced workforce at Xero
Strengthening belonging and understanding
Supporting families and carers
Building a culture of belonging, together
Xero’s employee resource groups (ERGs) offer a space to connect with others who share similar backgrounds, life experiences, or interests, and help to create a greater sense of belonging at Xero. The ERGs are voluntary, employee-led groups built on shared characteristics, life experiences or allyship, where Xeros can exchange ideas and feel at home.
ERGs at Xero encourage an exchange of ideas, promote a greater sense of belonging, and enhance career and professional development.
In 2025, we launched the diversity, inclusion, and belonging advisory roundtable (DIBAR). Composed of senior leaders from across Xero, the roundtable helps to identify development opportunities, remove roadblocks, and build a more representative and inclusive workforce.
These ERGs are active at Xero:
- Pearl: For employees of Asian and Pacific Islander descent in the US and Canada
- Black Xero: For Black employees in the US and Canada
- Families: Providing support and resources for employees with families

Our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)
At Xero, we make it human by practicing inclusion every day. It's something we strive to have embedded in the fabric of Xero: in our processes, policies, benefits, and how we ultimately deliver a product to Xero customers that meets their needs, no matter where in the world they are.
