A Message from One of Our Leaders

“As a founding member of the SPOC ERG, I am proud of our progress and the initiatives we have put forth to improve diversity here at Seagate. Although we have encountered many obstacles, I am encouraged by the support of our executive sponsors and allies to make Seagate a place of equity, belonging, and representation for all employees.”

Awards and Recognition

For the second year, three Seagate employees — Adrienne Hester, Senior Engineer; Arati Kulkarni, Senior Staff Analyst, and Yasmine El-Khatib, Staff Engineer — received "Technology Rising Star" recognition by the Women of Color STEM Conference. The awards were earned for their outstanding achievements in the workplace during the 2022 conference.

Cultivating Inclusivity, Equity and Belonging

Our group continues to look for ways to leverage the ERG by partnering with strategic stakeholders to cultivate a more inclusive, equitable and nurturing workplace. For example, SPOC is proud of the progress made in essential employee engagement efforts, pipeline development and leadership enablement.
