Be true to who you are
We’re proud to support and uplift the LGBTQ+ community at work and beyond. We believe that everyone—regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity, or expression—should be free to live authentically and feel like they belong.
How we champion equality
Hiring diverse talent
We’re dedicated to building a diverse workforce that reflects the world around us. We focus our recruiting efforts on LGBTQ+ job boards and events and actively educate our people on the importance of creating diverse teams.
Connecting our employees
The Oracle Pride Employee Network (OPEN) unites and empowers our LGBTQ+ communities around the world. With 43 chapters in 21 countries, we work together to increase opportunities, raise awareness, and form partnerships that improve the LGBTQ+ experience.
Engaging our allies
Everyone has a role to play in inclusion, and engaging allies is key to elevating our LGBTQ+ community. Our employees can feel safe and supported knowing that Oracle Allies are always ready to speak up and advocate for equality and acceptance.
Benefits for all
Our range of benefits is designed to enhance our employees’ lives—and their families. We provide same-sex partner medical benefits and transgender benefits in some countries.
Your stories inspire us
Anna
"I came out during my interview. I just felt 100% comfortable to be my whole self."
Anna's diverse talents have helped her add value to a variety of teams at Oracle. The common thread throughout her career journey has been unwavering support from the Oracle community.
"I came out during my interview. I hadn’t really planned to—I just felt 100% comfortable to be my whole, authentic self,” she shares.
"It means so much to me and my family as a whole, knowing that I am valued and protected, and that my company takes a stand on the issues that matter."
Read how pride runs through Anna's career at Oracle.
Kevin
"We need to continue to fight, be visible, and educate those around us."
Kevin came out in the early ‘80s. Since then he’s made it his mission to show everyone that gay men and women are no different from anyone else and should be judged on merit—not on who they love and like.
“I made it my responsibility to correct friends, family, and coworkers about LGBTQ+ issues. My goal has been to educate people about being gay whenever I can."
Read about Kevin’s work to further these efforts through his leadership of the Seattle OPEN chapter.
Amber
"I can now be my authentic self and be productive at work to achieve great results."
Amber knew she was transgender from the age of five, but it wasn't until she joined Oracle that she felt safe enough to open up to her colleagues about who she really was.
"I didn’t feel comfortable coming out at my previous employer to the extent that I didn't even tell them about my gender issues, so I decided to leave and look for a new company that had a strong diversity policy and that encouraged LGBTQ+ people to express themselves in a safe environment."
Read about Amber's journey.
Brian
"Coming out is always scary, usually messy, but necessary to live as your authentic self."
Coming out is a personal decision based on many factors. However Brian’s experience has taught him that sometimes our loved ones are more accepting than we realize. He vividly recalls how nervous he was to tell his parents he was gay. Looking back now, he can see his expectations were far worse than the reality.
"Coming out has different results for everyone. Sometimes tragic. Sometimes you lose people you love. But, for many, it’s a minor blip in your life that frees you from tyranny and a self-imposed punishment for a crime you never committed."
Brian shares his coming out story in the hopes that it will inspire others to follow in his footsteps.
