“I am personally committed to ensuring my coworkers and teammates feel valued, appreciated, and acknowledged for their individual contributions to the business. I strive to ensure everyone has equal opportunities to voice their opinions and be given ‘a seat at the table’ whenever possible. I’ve found these simple acts of acknowledgement and encouragement can enhance self-esteem, morale, and job satisfaction – important foundations for business success and growth..” – Darlene, Senior Manager, Research Analytics
“As a leader, I try my best to ensure that the female
leaders/employees are given opportunities, optics, encouragement and empowerment. Not only that,
the male colleagues/leaders in my team also understand and imbibe the same understanding and
support the advancement of women in their organization. HARMAN supports the mission so that the
impact can be felt at the grassroot level”. – Gunjan, Vice President, Android Platform
Engineering
“Creating a culture of belonging at HARMAN is not just a moral
imperative, it's a business need. Diversity is changing the way teams make decisions for the
better. In order to achieve true diversity, we strive to create a safe space so that everyone
feels welcome and valued. Just as the full potential of diversity can only be achieved through
full inclusion, the power of inclusion can only be fulfilled through being ourselves every day.”
– Immanuel, Global Director, Indirect Procurement
“As an inclusive leader, I provide team members ample opportunities to
participate, contribute and be heard. An inclusive environment allows me to leverage my team’s
best ideas, and keep them engaged. From my own experience, I know I do my best work when I
believe I am not marginalized, when I know I am heard – I think we’ve all been on both sides of
that divide, and I believe most of us respond positively when we don’t feel like ‘outsiders.’” –
Jude, Deputy General Counsel
