5 Key Insights from Uber’s Women in Leadership Panel

Uber’s Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer, Bo Young Lee, shared some actionable advice with Uber’s employees on how to deal with the unique challenges that this uncertain period brings and we wanted to share them here too.

Prioritizing your mental health – advice from Uber’s Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer

It’s our goal to create a workplace that is inclusive and reflects the diversity of the cities we serve—where everyone can be their authentic self, and where that authenticity is celebrated as a strength. By creating an environment where people from every background can thrive, we’ll make Uber a better company—for our employees and our customers.
<ul xss=removed>
<li>Our employee resource groups (ERGs) lead monumental efforts to enrich internal and external communities and spearhead global change at Uber. Our comprehensive ERG communities include Able at Uber, Asian at Uber, Black at Uber, Equal at Uber, Immigrants at Uber, Interfaith at Uber, Los Ubers, Parents at Uber, Pride at Uber, Sages at Uber, Veterans at Uber, and Women at Uber. </li>
<li>To make sure we act on our racial equity commitments, one of the accountability mechanisms we established is the Racial Equity Leadership Council (RELC). This steering committee is responsible for operationalizing the commitments to build racial equity internally and externally, within our products, services, and advocacy. In 2019, we also tied executive compensation to our D&I goals to ensure that our company leaders are being held accountable for this important work. For 2020, we established goals for increasing representation in leadership and have seen some positive progress, especially for women—plus a slight increase for underrepresented talent.</li>
<li>Welcoming all immigrants and races: Process, resources, and technology are put to work so that Uber can be a welcoming platform for riders and drivers and a supportive place to work for employees, who represent more than 70 countries.</li>
<li>Our commitment to equal rights: Through community outreach, training, and recruitment and retention, we’re helping to foster a workplace where everyone can be authentic to who they are.</li>
</ul>
"With the right actions, diverse teams can become our single greatest asset because they are what drive innovation." Bo Young Lee, Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer, Uber
