Our People
OUR VALUED TEAM
Having a workforce who bring a wide variety of skills, abilities, experiences and perspectives is essential to our success. By being inclusive, we can benefit from all our team members have to offer.
FOSTER BELONGING FOR ALL
Our value, Foster Belonging, means cultivating an environment where everyone feels respected, valued and included. We “put we before me” by prioritizing teamwork and leveraging our collective strengths to achieve shared success. We actively seek and embrace different perspectives to enrich our understanding, spark innovation and ensure all voices are heard. Together we create a culture where everyone can contribute and thrive.
The following are key behaviors expected from ALL employees:
Everyone
- Act respectfully with all colleagues regardless of role, level, background, or identity, ensuring that interactions uphold a shared value for everyone’s contributions.
Perspectives
- Invite insights from colleagues with diverse experiences and perspectives, actively listen, and creating space for open expression, ensuring that all voices are heard and everyone feels comfortable being their authentic selves.
- Seek and respond to feedback: Asking for input and feedback demonstrates a commitment to valuing diverse perspectives and shows a willingness to adjust behaviors based on others' insights.
Before Me
- Hold yourself and others accountable for maintaining a respectful and inclusive environment. Challenge and address disrespectful or non-inclusive behaviors when they occur, ensuring that the dignity of others is upheld and assuming positive intent. Report incidents through the appropriate channels, when necessary.
SAFETY
We are committed to providing a pleasant, productive and secure work environment for all of our employees. We adhere to the highest environmental, health and safety standards in our workplace and rely on everyone to report accidents, injuries and unsafe equipment, practices or conditions. To further ensure a safe workplace, violence and threatening behavior are never permitted.
We insist on maintaining a drug-free workplace where all employees must work free from the adverse effects of drugs, alcohol or other controlled substances. At the same time, we recognize that employees who suffer from drug and alcohol dependence can be treated, and we encourage employees to seek professional care and counseling before they violate Equinix’s drug and alcohol policies. For further guidance on a healthy and safe workplace, please refer to our Global Employee Handbooks.
Working together, we create a safe, diverse work environment built on:
- Honesty
- Integrity
- Self-respect
