PagerDuty employees (“Dutonians”) are at the heart of our social impact. Their talents, passions, and business expertise extend well beyond the workplace.

PagerDuty.org works to empower every Dutonian to effectively contribute their skills and resources through programs that build agency, empathy, connection, and leadership.

PagerDuty EMEA Team

Our employee experience programs include matching contributions for charitable donations and volunteer service, and 20 hours of volunteer time-off annually.

Many employees choose to volunteer their time to help PagerDuty impact customers optimize their digital operations. They help by implementing PagerDuty to address emerging needs or across new teams, while others give back locally through food banks or tutoring.

Our Community Responder council is a global network of employee champions who inspire their colleagues to take action to positively impact their communities. This includes identifying how their core function can enhance PagerDuty’s Impact Customers and community partners. We collaborate closely with our Employee Resource Groups—networks of employees with shared characteristics and experiences—to forge partnerships that empower underrepresented groups and advance inclusion and belonging.

In 2020, PagerDuty.org adapted our global Volunteer Response week to an entirely virtual platform, making it possible for 300 employees to safely support community organizations at a time when this aid was needed more than ever. Dutonians volunteered more than 460 hours in that week alone.

And as the United States reckoned with racial injustice, we responded by taking action and honoring Juneteenth as PagerDuty’s inaugural Day for Change, with a focus on steps we can all take to be activists for a more just and equitable world. We expanded our volunteer time off policy to reflect our changing world, including new eligible activities like peaceful activism, voting, and non-partisan voter engagement.

The opportunities we have to make a difference by way of social impact—especially now during this global pandemic—are endless and can lead to incredible growth, both personally and professionally.”
