They believe that commerce is a powerful force for good that has the ability to connect communities and foster progress. Gorgias is here to promote change by enhancing the customer experience, and, in turn, contributing to better living conditions for all.
Step into Gorgias's inclusive workplace, where a culture of flexibility and family-first policies redefine the modern workplace. It exemplifies progressive diversity and inclusion practices, boasting an impressive 35% representation of women in its tech team, far surpassing the European average of 22%.

Gorgias' transparent career paths and equitable pay structures with a public salary calculator removing salary negotiation to bring equal pay are not just commendable; they're transformative, ensuring all employees feel valued and empowered to excel.
Their dedication to work-life balance goes beyond rhetoric, with tangible policies like blocking off calendars for family time, setting a new standard for compassionate workplaces. Anti-harassment measures and employee resource groups further underscore Gorgias' unwavering commitment to creating a safe, inclusive, and empowering environment for all.
