Diversity & Inclusion
We aspire for ByteDance to reflect the diverse communities that make our organization and our products so special. That's why we strive to create a culture of belonging every day.
Our organization reflects the diverse communities we serve. Celebrating our differences helps achieve our mission of inspiring creativity and enriching life inside and outside work.
Our differences make us stronger.
We believe diversity is about the different identities, backgrounds, and experiences represented within our teams.
Inclusion helps us innovate.
We collaborate across borders every day, fostering a strong sense of belonging globally. We're proud of the differences we bring to the table – and the ideas they inspire.
Champion Diversity & Inclusion is one of our six core values or what we call ByteStyle. We prioritize three fundamental components:
Global Collaboration
Facilitate effective collaboration by assuming good intent and trusting by default.
Equity, Inclusion, Diversity
Think global. Understand and celebrate different cultures, views, and experiences.
Respect and Trust
Value individual differences, and focus on people's unique strengths.

Our voices.
I feel seen and welcomed when working collaboratively with my team on innovative projects. Solving real problems gives me a profound sense of belonging. TikTok's culture, which values pushing boundaries, constant learning, and personal and professional growth, resonates deeply with me.

It's important for my voice to be heard for the team's growth and success. TikTok provides a safe space for self-expression, which empowers me to create a similar environment for others. This inclusive atmosphere helps both our employees and our understanding of the diverse cultures on our platform.

Trust & Safety
From the top down, there's a genuine emphasis on embracing diverse perspectives. My team encourages me to share my ideas without fear or judgment. I also joined ARISE and WOMEN ERG because I wanted to be part of a community where I could feel included and supported, especially valuing the mentorship opportunities they offer. Both foster an environment where I can share my culture and find confidence in my identity.
