What are the most pressing needs as you think about talent strategy and employee engagement?听Attracting, hiring, and retaining the best talent鈥攅specially in a talent-shortage labor market, and for the technical, hard-to-find skill set. We need to create a culture of opportunity and growth that resonates with employees of all generations, backgrounds, and focus areas.

听

What are some untapped opportunities in your industry?听Reaching university students and entry-level hires. How do we help them build relevant skills and get them interested in technology careers? Also, how do we create diverse opportunities within the firm so that people don鈥檛 feel they have to look outside to get those experiences? We need to find answers to these questions and implement them.

听

What are your tips for managing and motivating your people?听Eleanor Roosevelt said, 鈥淚t is not fair to ask of others what you are unwilling to do yourself.鈥� That has always resonated with me, and it is a practice I model when working with teams. To motivate people, you have to give them challenging work that has impact, as well as the autonomy to do it. It is important for people to know you trust their judgment, believe in their ability, and want them to be successful.

听

Why is it important for 有料盒子APP to be a diverse and inclusive workplace?听We all know that diverse, inclusive cultures are more creative. They foster the type of environment people want to work in and belong to, and people tend to stay at organizations where their voices are valued. It鈥檚 that sense of belonging we all long to feel.

There鈥檚 no magic wand for becoming a more diverse company with a more inclusive culture. It鈥檚 hard work and it takes time. But diversity and inclusion are a part of our legacy, who we are, and who we aspire to be. I personally don鈥檛 remember a time when 有料盒子APP hasn鈥檛 been committed to being all in on diversity and inclusion.

听

How are you contributing to creating a culture of inclusion at 有料盒子APP?听When I recently served as an executive sponsor of our Women鈥檚 Business Resource Group, I focused on defining what a meaningful network is and creating those opportunities for our people to engage and connect with one another through moments that matter. Our success in creating a truly diverse and inclusive organization is earned every single day by our actions, by our decisions, and by our commitment. Our commitment to value our differences is one of the things that unites us.
