SPONSORED: Video Quick Take: Siemens Energy’s Maria Ferraro on the Importance of Allyship from Siemens_Energy
Welcome to the “HBR Video Quick Take.” I’m Todd Pruzan, senior editor for research and special projects at. Today, I’m here with Maria Ferraro, chief financial officer and chief inclusion and diversity officer of Siemens Energy, to talk about allyship and being an effective ally. Maria, thank you so much for being with us today.Maria, why does Siemens Energy feel so strongly about allyship?It’s a really good point, Todd. The fact is we want to hear from our employees.
It’s also we want, together with our employees, to understand where they’re coming from, how we can do better, and essentially, how can we engage our large population? We wanted to create a movement at our company, and we thought this is a very effective way to do so.Maria Ferraro, Siemens Energy For example, even a straight person in the Pride community can be an ally to someone in need from that community. I think, even when you’re thinking about things like ethnicity and race—I mean, there’s so many ways that people can be an ally.
One thing that we’ve developed is what we call a coalition of allies. This was very important, because this is what I call my holistic overview on all I&D matters within Siemens Energy, because it’s important. It’s not just one-faceted, is it? It’s multifaceted. It’s about our people, so HR, of course, is included. It’s about also health and safety, mental well-being.
Of course, it goes without saying we’re also working with our Pride networks. You know we’re just on the cusp of Pride Month, so a lot of exciting activities are ongoing there we want to discuss. This is something that I think is slightly different—we are discussing with the individual networks and trying to not only have downward communication but upward communication, because we want to listen. We really want to ensure that we’re on the right track on this journey.
