DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION
“POWERED BY YOU” At the heart of our DEI approach are our approximately 67,000 team members who come from a variety of backgrounds and who continue to be examples of DEI every day. In 2022, we launched a new call-to-action with team members in mind called, “Powered by You.” Powered by You moves our DEI agenda forward by making every team member the driver of their performance and success. It inspires team members to join a Team Member Network, share their personal stories and listen to others and welcome and embrace diversity of background, beliefs, thoughts and ideas. It also encourages team members to attend and engage in events to understand the perspective of others, educate themselves on cultural issues such as racial equity and unconscious bias and become familiar with DEI definitions. Finally, it asks that we all speak up if we see colleagues not behaving according to our DEI values or acting with biases or a discriminatory way.
EVENTS AND EXPERIENCES To enable the behaviors that make up Powered by You, the DEI team, often in partnership with Team Member Networks, created numerous events and experiences to help team members understand what DEI means and recognize DEI is for everyone while offering ways to advocate for others, especially for team members who historically may have faced inequities or unconscious biases. In 2022, there were nearly 100 DEI-related experiences, including mainstage events, lunch and learns and cultural fluency events. These experiences provided team members with tools and resources that will help to elevate their careers, improve daily interactions in the workplace and provide opportunities for solidarity through allyship.
