CULTIVATING INCLUSION We develop and retain an empowered workforce Diversity and inclusion empower creativity, which leads to stronger customer connections and a healthier bottom line. A Boston Consulting Group study found companies with more diverse management teams have 19% higher revenues due to innovation. Empowering to engage Organizations and teams with higher employee engagement perform at higher levels, according to a recent Gallup poll. Gallup measures engagement through actionable workplace elements with proven linkages to performance outcomes — opportunities for workers to do what they do best, opportunities to develop their job skills and having their opinions count, for example. By listening to team members’ feedback through Tell Dell, our employee opinion survey — and other vehicles, we’ve been able to develop many global initiatives that meet employee needs. Supporting employee connections Empowered, engaged employees feel connected, like they’re part of something bigger than themselves. Such connections come to life through activities and relationships that are meaningful to the individual. Dell Technologies offers mechanisms and opportunities for our employees to connect at a personal, as well as professional, level via internal groups. Strengthening through employee leadership, connection and growth Dell Technologies’ Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) serve as both examples and building blocks for an accepting, authenticity-centered career culture. With 40,000 ERG members worldwide (based on July 2019 data) choosing to participate, our ERGs link them as more than coworkers; they connect via gender, ethnicity, identity or background, and together, they engage in development, networking and community activities, as well as mutual understanding and support.
