Happy National Working Parents Day!

Today, we’re celebrating the parents and caregivers at Zscaler who masterfully juggle project deadlines and packed lunches, team meetings and bedtime stories. Creating a culture of flexibility, trust, and support is core to who we are. But don't just take our word for it. We asked some of our incredible working parents to share what this support means to them. To all the working parents at Zscaler and beyond: we appreciate you, and we’re proud to foster a culture that enables you to thrive.

Mrigank Singh, Product Management - "The unwavering trust Zscaler places in me is what makes our flexible culture so transformative. It empowers my wife and me to share parenting duties and be present for our children and creates a truly fulfilling career experience that I'm grateful for every day."

Miranda Dali, Revenue Enablement - "Starting at Zscaler when my daughter, Olive, was just four months old was daunting, but the culture of support was immediate. That trust was never more apparent than when she underwent two surgeries, and my team encouraged me to fully unplug to be with her. This unwavering support from both my team and leadership has empowered me to grow into new roles, all while being the mom I strive to be."

Katharina Eitel, Marketing - "Becoming a mom has sharpened my abilities to lead with empathy, build collaborative connections, and remain focused on purposeful goals. Whether I’m hosting major Zscaler events or navigating the joys and challenges of parenthood, I’m driven to connect, grow, and create solutions that truly matter—both at work and at home."

Alexander Huhn, Sales Engineering - "The support I received from my Zscaler team during a difficult family situation was incredible, giving me the space to focus on what mattered most. Now that things have stabilized, that same culture of trust allows me to manage my own schedule, balancing family commitments with my professional responsibilities."

Maggie Minogue, IT - "I'm incredibly grateful to my manager, Harps Rai, who has championed my journey as a working parent from day one. As an exemplary leader and advocate for working mothers, she has given me the freedom to thrive both at home and at work. It’s empowering to be part of a company where I know I can grow my career without compromising my family."

Laura Flood, People & Culture - "Leadership has consistently offered flexibility, hybrid work, and empathy for the occasional chaos behind my Zoom background. The generous paid maternity leave and ramp-back program I used with my third child were invaluable. This culture allows me to maximize my time in the office for connection and focus, so I can be fully present for my family at home."

Autumn Policicchio, Revenue Enablement - "I am grateful to work for a company that allows flexibility at work because it allows me to not only do meaningful and impactful work, but also show up fully for the people who matter most. Whether it is taking my 91 year-old grandma to a doctor's appointment or celebrating one of my five kids' successes, I know I can be and will be present for life's important moments."

Yana Petrova, Sales Engineering - "The secret to success isn't doing it all alone—it's building the right team. Talk, align, and plan together. It’s a journey, not a destination, and having a community to share it with makes all the difference."

Caitlyn Mason, People & Culture - "Through Zscaler's support for new mothers, including generous maternity leave, the Ramp Back Program, which allowed me to work part-time during my first month back, I was able to ease into the new normal of balancing work and motherhood.These initiatives have empowered me to find a healthy work-life balance, enabling me to make a meaningful impact both professionally and in my daughter's life."
