Diversity & Inclusion

We've developed our IDEA (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Access) initiative that includes Associates from all over the world. They are helping to continue to define and implement important Company actions in this space that reflect Shure's Core Values.

Shure began in 1925. The world was much different then, but one thing has remained constant through the vision of our founder, S.N. Shure – the appreciation for diversity and inclusion.

What was once a small, downtown Chicago company has expanded to a global presence with Associates of all different backgrounds and cultures. Our Customers also reflect this diversity as our presence touches every part of the world.

We embrace diversity and inclusion efforts. In fact, we started three employee “Associate Resource Groups” we call VIBEs – Values, Inclusion, Belonging, Equity. These VIBEs represent different Associate communities and their allies:

• CARE – Cultural And Racial Equity
• Pride – LGBTQIA+
• WE – Women Everywhere

We have expanded these VIBEs regionally where Shure has office locations:

• WE – China, India, Hong Kong, Japan, Mexico, Brazil, Germany, Denmark, Netherlands, Belgium,
• UAE, Scotland, England, Spain, France, Austria
• CARE – Germany, Denmark, Netherlands, Belgium, UAE, Scotland, England, Spain, France, Austria

The VIBEs help all of our global Associates in a number of ways. These include holding panel discussions about relevant topics in our world today, informational campaigns about cultural holidays and observances, involvement in local community activities, and input on relevant marketing and communications.

But the most important thing that the VIBEs accomplish is providing a space for any Associate to feel heard and supported.

We thank all of our VIBE leaders, supporters, members and volunteers for making Shure a more inclusive place to work.

Shure is proud to celebrate the history, culture, and contributions of people of Latin and Hispanic heritage at our Company worldwide.

Our Company supports Latinx and Hispanic communities through Volver a Soñar, which uses music to improve the quality of life for people by promoting culture, education, and technology. Ella Suena is an international movement that amplifies women’s voices in music and encourages gender equality. Shure supports Ella Suena financially and with generous donations of Shure gear.

Many of those products used by artists and businesses as well are carefully manufactured by our talented Associates in Juárez, Mexico.

And we partner with more organizations focused on empowering Latina women as they work to establish careers in audio and music.

Diversity, whether from tech, music, audio, finance, manufacturing, and beyond, is important at Shure. We embrace diversity every day in our workplace because we know it helps us better understand our customers, which range from television and movie studios, to educational institutions, to musicians and concert venues, to houses of worship, to content creators, to individuals who love their music.

Inside our doors, we routinely share stories and experiences from our Associates around the world, including our Associates based in Mexico, Brazil, and Spain, so we can all learn from each other.

Our global VIBEs center on women, LGBTQIA+, and cultural and racial equity. These affinity groups continue to guide us in how we think about policies, observances, and other changes our Associates would like to see at Shure.

At Shure, we’re committed to improving Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Access in our workplace. And we recognize and honor the cultural diversity that our Associates, customers, suppliers, and community bring to our Company every day of the year.
