How we define
Culture at Asana
We strive for a culture of clarity, accountability, transparency, empathy, humility — and as a result, trust.

For our employees to do their best work and for us to achieve our mission, everyone at Asana must feel respected and valued. By creating a culture of transparency and trust, we foster psychological safety and belonging for all within our company and our product.
Our Strategy
Recruit
Hiring and developing talent from all groups and backgrounds is a shared responsibility.
Apprenticeship programs: Developing early career individuals through AsanaUp.
Dedicated outreach: Committed to seeking out candidates from non-tech backgrounds.
Candidate experience: A transparent, open environment allows candidates to show up as their best selves. Trainings empower our Talent Acquisition team to be culture and belonging advocates.
Build
We’re intentional about laying a foundation of support and resources for our employees to be successful, including:
Robust, customized trainings: Mandatory harassment training, bias trainings, and leadership trainings.
Pay equity study and accessible compensation team: Pay is analyzed by an outside vendor twice a year to ensure our compensation practices are equitable. Our team holds regular office hours on this work.
Benefits for parents and caregivers: 16 weeks paid parental leave regardless of gender, and global employees on all paths to parenthood have free access to Cleo to support their journey.
Standing against hate: Our policies ban hate groups from using Asana.
Commitment to accessibility: Empowering teammates with disabilities by embracing accessibility throughout our experiences. So we’ve started on a multi-year journey to bring our web application into conformance with WCAG 2.1 AA guidelines.
