Veritas accelerates several Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives

[ClaireVerrot]

Veritas Technologies is committed to maintaining an equal, respectful, and inclusive environment for all by embracing every culture, language, age, gender, non-binary/non-conforming, sexual orientation, disability, and background. At Veritas, we believe that the more diverse our people, the better we can innovate, solve problems, succeed, and have fun along the way. 

Veritas is accelerating several Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives in partnership with internal stakeholders like the Veritas Leadership Team and Employee Resource Group (ERG) champions. Over a year ago, the company established a DEI committee to further foster a work environment in which all employees are valued and respected for their individual differences and unique perspectives. The committee includes representatives from HR Operations, People and Purpose, Talent Acquisition, Benefits and Compensation, and Corporate Responsibility.

It's focused on three key areas: talent pipeline, policies and programs, and the full employee experience. The talent pipeline aims to increase the representation of diverse candidates in the recruitment phase, especially women. The aim of policies and programs is to provide educational content and training to employees globally and benefits that support a diverse workforce. And the full employee experience aims to retain and grow diverse talent.

Examples of tactics that Veritas has rolled out in support of DEI include:

• Reviewing and modifying job descriptions to be more inclusive.
• Pivoting talent acquisition strategies to include a diverse slate of candidates for open positions.
• Training employees on interviewing best practices with a DEI focus.
• Reviewing benefits plans to address the needs of underrepresented groups.
• Inviting employees to participate in the McKinsey Black Executive Leadership Program.
• Providing regular trainings and discussion forums to engage all employees.
• Offering mentorship programs for underrepresented groups.

Veritas has also established ERGs to further embed an inclusive culture. ERGs are grassroots, employee-led programs, an important form of employee engagement, that support the company's corporate responsibility priorities by promoting diversity and inclusion and mitigating Veritas' environmental footprint. ERGs include Black Employees at Veritas Empowered (BLEVE), Hispanic Outreach Leadership Affinity (HOLA), Women at Veritas Empowered (WAVE), and more.
