Diversity, equity, inclusion (DEI) at Benchling

We’re committed to building an equitable workplace where employees can feel respected, connected, and supported in their growth.

Our approach

"The work of building a culture where everyone can truly belong doesn’t just happen. It takes intentionality, resources, thoughtfulness, accountability, and commitment from every Benchling. I’m proud to be part of a company that celebrates this."
