Diversity
What if every room looked the same? What if we could only decorate with one color? There is no vision without variety. And there is no success without the celebration of our individual strengths.
Equity
We are not just one thing to one person. Wayfair is a company fit for all. We do our best to tailor everyone’s experience with us, to help each unique individual feel at home, at work.

A Snapshot of our DEI Infrastructure
Certified Interview Program
Our Certified Interview Program aims to give every candidate a fair and equitable interview experience. In 2021, we updated our interviewer training program and provided coaching based on candidate feedback around interviewer behavior. The program also includes behavioral interviewing and bias training. We’ve seen a 73% completion rate for all the interviewers in this first year of the assigned training, as well as improvements in interviewer behavior scores based on candidate feedback. Our 2022 objective is to further build out the Certified Interview Program to drive accountability.

ERGs are employee-created and employee-led with support from the Wayfair Talent team.
What Our People Are Saying
Amanda, Women+@Work ERG
“One of the biggest honors of my career has been the opportunity to co-lead the Women+@Wayfair Employee Resource Group of Boston. Each day, I am inspired by the incredible talent, resilience, and grit of women+ at Wayfair. Our goal is to provide a meaningful framework and forum for the women+ communities at Wayfair to celebrate, learn, and amplify action.”
Patrick, WayOut ERG
“When I joined Wayfair, there was no formalized group for the LGBTQ+ community in Berlin. I found some like-minded people who were excited to start WayOut Berlin together. Now, a year later, we’re 100+ members and growing!”
Amber, WayBlack ERG
“I love being a lead for WayBlack Bryan. This gives us the opportunity to speak to colleagues around the company, educating them on the importance of respecting all of the talent that Black/African Americans bring to the company. Being able to use both of my passions of advocating for Black people and teaching/training our allies the best way to help their teams grow and adapt makes my career fulfilling, and I am so thankful for that.”
