Equinix Employee
Connection Networks
Equinix Employee Connection Networks (EECNs) are internal community groups open to all employees and are formed around an identity that is historically marginalized or shares unique challenges. They offer opportunities for learning, growth, and celebration.
One of the most sustainable modes of inspiring connection and attracting talent is through our nine Equinix Employee Connection Networks. Our EECNs enhance employees' experiences, foster inclusion, promote cultural awareness and strengthen the business.
WeAreEquinix Teams
Equinix recognizes that creating the best workplace and culture requires a global effort with localized approaches. In 2020, we launched “WeAreEquinix” (WRE) teams to create and promote purpose, belonging, service, sustainability and fun for their locations across the world. They also provide Equinix with a more holistic view into the unique happenings across our global business and help build culture and community, locally.
WeAreEquinix is a mechanism for employees to take leadership roles at their local sites and to support a workplace where all employees can feel like they belong.
Community Impact
Equinix recognizes the critical role we play in connecting our communities and those most in need to the opportunities of the digital world. We support our employees to give back to the causes they care most about. We also respond to pressing local and global issues through our Employee Matching Gifts Program, the Equinix Employee Relief Fund, Crisis Response donation campaigns, and other volunteer initiatives, which are all funded by the Equinix Foundation.
The employee-led Equinix Community Impact Program empowers our workforce to make a meaningful impact, now and in the future.
Wellbeing & Benefits
At Equinix, maintaining our employees’ physical, mental and emotional health remains a topmost priority. Our business is only as successful as our employees’ ability to serve each other, our customers and the communities in which we live and operate. Wellbeing is not just a program; we strive to design wellbeing into our ways of working. Our wellbeing initiatives help strengthen our employees’ mental resilience, while providing a space where everyone can safely and dependably access the resources they seek.
We address employees’ professional and personal needs through fair, market-competitive pay and comprehensive benefits—including medical plans, employee assistance programs, life insurance, tuition reimbursement and more. Our wellbeing and benefit programs help employees achieve their goals while caring for themselves and their families.
Growth and Development
Equinix encourages, empowers, and recognizes employees for trying new and better ways of doing things, regardless of their role or background.
Our employees have access to to several modes of learning opportunities, both live and online. We also have a robust performance review process to ensure all employees have the chance to get feedback, make meaningful contributions, and champion their growth.
