Motive Inclusion & Diversity

Updated on August 06, 2026

Frequently Asked Questions

Representation in Leadership

Diversity and inclusion are built into how Motive develops leaders and senior talent. The company has dedicated diversity and inclusion staff, mandates unconscious bias training, uses hiring practices that promote diversity, runs a diversity recruitment program, and applies a diverse slate approach in interviews. It also states that it is building an upward mobility path to a more diverse leadership team, and it has already added female vice presidents in engineering.

Motive reinforces that effort with structures that help underrepresented employees grow into senior roles. Employee resource groups including AAPI, Keep Parenting, Melanin, MoPride, Women, DNA and Veterans create spaces for connection, advocacy and career development, while quarterly mentorship meetups, fireside chats, speaker panels, and leadership training support advancement. The result is a leadership culture built to value different backgrounds, perspectives and experiences as a driver of innovation and long-term success.

Inclusive Hiring Practices

Motive builds inclusion and fairness into hiring through structured practices and accountability. The company uses mandated unconscious bias training, trains managers to mitigate bias, and applies a diverse slate approach in its interview process. Hiring practices promote diversity, a dedicated diversity and inclusion team supports these efforts, and recruiting programs are designed to improve representation through events focused on underrepresented communities.

The hiring experience is also grounded in equitable access and support. Motive is an equal opportunity employer, provides reasonable accommodations for candidates with disabilities, and works to create an environment where people feel included, supported, empowered and respected. That commitment is reinforced by employee resource groups, inclusive leader training, and a culture built on respect, integrity and diverse perspectives.

Belonging & Workplace Inclusion

Belonging and inclusion at Motive are supported by both companywide systems and day-to-day team practices. The company has dedicated diversity and inclusion staff, mandated unconscious bias training, inclusive leader training, diversity-focused hiring practices, a diversity recruitment program and a diverse slate interview approach. It also invests in recruiting events for underrepresented communities and builds accountability around representation and career mobility, including an upward path to more diverse leadership. Motive’s values reinforce this by emphasizing respect, integrity, diverse perspectives and breaking echo chambers.

Inclusion is also built into the employee experience. Motive sponsors employee resource groups including AAPI, Keep Parenting, Melanin, MoPride, Women, DNA and Veterans, creating spaces for employees to connect, collaborate and grow their careers. Quarterly mentorship meetups, fireside chats, DE&I roundtables and leadership development programs help employees build relationships and feel supported across differences. The culture is collaborative and feedback-rich, and employees report supportive working relationships, managers who care about them as people and flexibility to shape work around life commitments.
