La vicepresidenta de relaciones humanas de Apple, Denisse Young envío un correo electrónico a los empleados en referencia a la diversidad e inclusión, esto a raíz de la iniciativa de la compañía de promover estas dos cualidades dentro de la compañía. Este no es el primer correo o el primer evento en donde Apple busca promover la diversidad e inclusión ya que han sostenido actividades dentro del campus para promover ambas.
El email habla mayormente de como la diversidad y la inclusión es importante para la compañía, de como muchos de diferentes lugares, culturas y diversidades buscan obtener una carrera dentro de la compañía de Apple, de hecho promover que no importa tu color de piel, de donde vengas, el color de tu pelo, de tus ojos sigues teniendo la misma oportunidad que cualquier otra persona, si tienes la capacidad y el deseo de pertenecer y hacer algo tienes la posibilidad de trabajar para Apple si te lo propones, aunque en mi franca opinión yo creo que esto no es aplicado en la mayoría de los casos.
Para los que no tienen conocimiento Denisse Young fue promovida a vicepresidenta de todo lo que es relaciones humanas a comienzos de este año y recibió especial atención durante el mes pasado cuando fue integrada a las biografías de los ejecutivos de Apple. A continuación una copia de todo el correo electrónico enviado a los empleados de la compañía de Cupertino.
Team,
Tim has kicked off an ongoing conversation about inclusion and diversity at Apple. No matter what our role is or where we sit, this is important and meaningful to all of us, to our customers, and to those who are considering a career at Apple.
The “In Your Voice” feedback we’ve received has been nothing less than what we’d expect: authentic, impassioned, and broadly representative of our diversity of thought and perspectives from around the world. And we’re grateful for it.
Many of you shared stories about how Apple’s culture of inclusion changed the course of your life, whether personally or professionally: “I was over 55 when I was hired. My hiring manager looked beyond my age and hair color and saw me for what I am: an energetic, hard-working individual up for the Apple challenge. Thank you.” “I am rewarded for being and thinking differently. My point of view is appreciated in this environment, whereas in previous experiences and environments, my point of view seemed to be something others had to deal with.”
A few of you compared Apple to the United Nations, describing your daily routine of hearing many languages spoken around you at work and benefitting from global viewpoints.
You told us where Apple could be doing better. You said that your teams and your managers could do more to be inclusive. This often manifests itself in subtle ways — from the words we choose, to how we hire, to how we engage one another and develop others. We all bring with us a life experience that makes us unique, yet colors how we view others and the world around us. We can all benefit from enhanced awareness of how our actions affect others.
Some of you shared that you don’t feel as connected as you would like to your teams or to initiatives that feel removed from your location. You also want to hear from and connect with the many amazing role models in our organization. These are areas we can greatly improve upon and we will. We must.
We believe to our core that inclusion inspires our very best innovations. As one of you put it, “Diversity is essential to making sure our products are great for all humanity. When our teams are diverse, we make noticeably better products for the world.”
Along with that, we know that we need to demonstrate an active commitment to inclusion in our day-to-day work to fully leverage the richness of our diversity.
We’re going to continue this conversation and others that further the dialogue on innovation, inclusion, and of course, why we are all here: to make an impact and do our very best work. Together.
We welcome your thoughts and ideas as we move forward.
Denise
