2024 Workforce Diversity Report
Representation matters. It is integral to Block’s purpose of economic empowerment and ensuring that we meet the diverse needs of our customers. We want to be transparent about where Block stands on representation.
Despite a headcount cap and overall reduction in staff this past year, Block has maintained strong representation in business roles and has seen gradual improvements in technical and senior leadership roles. Block continues to prioritize building an inclusive workplace that supports all employees and fosters their success.
Diversity at Block
To put the racial and ethnic diversity of our workforce into context, we reference U.S. Census data that indicates underrepresented minorities (URM)¹ make up roughly 35% of the population.
Gender Diversity at Block
The reference point we use for gender diversity is 50% representation for women.
Intersectional Diversity at Block
We understand various forms of diversity can operate in overlapping and reinforcing ways, so we assess the intersection of diversity data such as race/ethnicity and gender. Overall, women make up a greater percentage of our URM employees than they do our non-URM employees. Consistent with the gender and race data above, this is the result of a higher concentration of non-URMs within tech roles, where the representation of men is also higher.
