“ A DIVERSE AND INCLUSIVE ENVIRONMENT ENSURES THAT DELL IS A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE WANT TO WORK ”
Dayne Turbitt , SVP , Dell Technologies
Dell is a company built on a foundation of strong ethics . We know that recruiting diverse talent is a great first step , but then we need to develop our talent and create an environment where everyone feels comfortable to do their best work . We are championing diversity from a top down process by investing in our employees directly through ERGs and supporting a flexible work environment . These are all building blocks for a more diverse and inclusive culture but to truly address the challenges tech faces , we must address the fundamental issue of human bias . We all have biases – conscious and unconscious – that affect how we view the world . It ’ s important we become aware of those biases and how they could play out in the work environment .
We were the first in our industry to roll out unconscious bias foundational learning to educate our team on what can unintentionally harm work culture and performance . We have already trained 10,000 + employees through our initiative , Many Advocating for Real Change . 100 % of our leaders have gone through the programme and our goal is to have 100 % of all team members participate by end of 2020 .
