Diversity & Inclusion

We've developed IDEA (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Access) initiatives that include Associates worldwide. Each day, they help 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 from 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. We now feature four employee “Associate Resource Groups” we call VIBEs—Values, Inclusion, Belonging, and Equity. These VIBEs represent different Associate communities and their allies:

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

We have expanded these VIBEs regionally to Shure office locations worldwide.

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

However, the most important thing the VIBEs accomplish is providing a space for any associate to feel heard and supported.

We thank our VIBE leaders, supporters, members and volunteers for making Shure a more inclusive workplace.

Diversity, whether from tech, music, audio, finance, manufacturing, or beyond, is essential at Shure. We also embrace diversity daily in our workplace because it helps us better understand our diverse global customers, who include television and movie studios, educational institutions, musicians and concert venues, houses of worship, content creators, and individuals who love their music.

Our global VIBEs centre on women, LGBTQIA+, cultural and racial equity, and people with diverse abilities. These affinity groups continue to guide 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. We recognise and honour the cultural diversity that our Associates, customers, suppliers, and community bring to our Company every day of the year.

During Women’s History Month and on International Women’s Day, Shure celebrates the achievements of women around the world. We recognize the accomplishments of our Associates with a spotlight on the women of Shure as well as events and resources to amplify their voices.

As we celebrate our Company’s 100th Anniversary in 2025, we remember that Shure has a long and proud history of women at the forefront. Through their example, they have advanced the lives of women and made our workplace a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive one.

Every day inside and outside of Shure, we are presented with opportunities to be inspired by and celebrate the amazing women we know. The trailblazers. The innovators. The mothers. The matriarchs. The artists. The advocates. It has been said that we stand on the shoulders of our foremothers. Rather than simply stand on their shoulders, we strive together to lift them up. To lift each other up. To amplify their voices. To recognize them in our lives always.
