3 Principles for Building Global Diversity Programs
summary
Small diversity team supports ~1,800 employees across 17 countries and shares three concrete practices: set locally meaningful goals (use local research — partnered with Chicas en Tecnología — to set a 16% target for women in tech and raise internship targets year over year), create monthly reporting and apply the Rooney Rule to the hiring funnel, and build centralized infrastructure — an ERG toolkit, a Medallia Medley forum, a diversity newsletter, Slackbot nudges, and a pre-recorded global talent show on Twitch — that increases global participation and accountability.
