Why Diversity, Equity, Inclusion,
and Belonging Matter
A culture of belonging does more than make Wind River a great place to work — it drives our business success.
Statement from Anuradha Mayer, Chief People Officer
Anuradha Mayer
Chief People Officer
We are experiencing a transformational time, in the workplace and in society, that demands agile thinking, new combinations of skills and experiences, a higher level of collaboration, and a growth mindset culture. We know that a heterogeneous workforce benefits all of us: Inclusive and diverse teams produce original ideas, increase creativity, and are more productive. Drawing strength from our differences leads to an engaging employee experience for our people and innovative breakthroughs for our customers. It is at the heart of what we do.
The Wind River® commitment to diversity and inclusion is a priority and a strategic imperative, crucial to capturing the opportunities that matter most to our employees, to our customers, to our communities, and to me personally. And I am proud to say that our people at every level of the company are taking ownership for creating an inclusive and varied culture.
As an organization, we have made progress toward this goal. Now we’re accelerating our efforts to create an even more eclectic and inclusive company with aggressive diversity targets.
These are not just words for Wind River; our aim can only be achieved by bringing forward a truly diverse and inclusive workforce. It is core to our culture and the way we do business, and critical to our future success.
