Defining DEI
You’ve heard the acronym, but do you know what DEI means to us at PTC?
- Diversity: We’re on a mission to increase our organization’s representation and composition – everything from our personality, communication, internal factors, external factors, and organizational factors.
- Equity: We strive to create an equitable experience for all by removing barriers to success and disrupting bias. This is different from equality – rather, ensuring everyone has a fair chance at success.
- Inclusion: We’re building an inclusive culture by fostering belonging through our Employee Resource Groups and Ambassadors.
How We Approach DEI at PTC
We’re weaving DEI principles and practices into every facet of what we do, from structures and processes to systems and products. This is a lasting commitment that begins with each of us inside PTC but will be felt far beyond our organization—we’re creating new opportunities for our employees to grow, and for our customers and communities to thrive.
We are a global, diverse, welcoming team of brilliant creators who simply understand great ideas can come from any of us, and the best ideas represent all of us. We know innovation can unify, inspire curiosity, and spark imagination. When it’s strengthened by differing viewpoints and varying perspectives, it can be truly transformational.
We’re eagerly committed to not just imagining a better world, but helping to create it. Through our commitment to DEI and our collective Power To Create—we will continue to better the communities our employees live and work in globally, build a culture that supports diversity, equity, and inclusion so our employees can achieve their greatest potential, and help our customers solve their most difficult challenges.
At PTC, our Power To Create helps us build a better world across four pillars of diversity, equity, and inclusion:
