inclusion

Even in human relationships, hard data is an eye-opener. When I joined Cisco’s Enterprise Networking Group, one data point was immediately concerning: we had gender imbalance, especially in leadership.

I am excited to announce we are bringing together our Connected Women and Cisco Empowered Women's Network into a new powerful organization named Women of Cisco – a single, strong platform for women and their allies.

Innovative ideas begin with a team that has diverse work experiences, different skills, and different perspectives based on race, gender, orientation, ability, and age.

Cisco employs education, process, and innovative solutions to move from intention to action to results.

Cisco Canada has been named a 2019 Best Workplaces for Women, based on direct employee feedback and our programs and practices that promote the fair treatment and advancement of women.

Cisco introduced The Multiplier Effect, which asks leaders to pledge to sponsor at least one extraordinary diverse person in their organization and challenge their peers to do the same.

The Passion Project is part of Cisco’s annual Women of Impact conference – an entire day devoted to the professional development of women, which is open to the public.

Modupe loves supporting #WomenInTech and shares why this Galentine's Day we should celebrate the powerful female friendships in our lives.

Two years ago, our CEO Chuck Robbins joined with over 500 other corporate leaders in signing the global CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion™ Pledge. Today, Cisco is again joining with these companies to recognize December 7 as a Day of Understanding. An opportunity to highlight the importance of fostering courageous conversations in the workplace, specifically around unconscious bias.
