Manage episode 405079567 series 2935206
In honor of International Women’s Day (IWD 2024), 3D InCites partnered with SEMI ISS to bring you this episode on how companies are fostering and implementing DEIB and allyship into their corporate culture.
Françoise von Trapp speaks with Nigel Wenden, CEO of WGNSTAR, Laura Matz, CTO of Merck KGAA Darmstadt Germany; and Mike Rosa, CMO, Onto Innovation. They discuss their respective company’s success stories with DEIB and their efforts to foster allyship in the workplace.
You’ll learn about some startling statistics about women and underrepresented minorities (URMs) in the technology industry, and the goals that WGNSTAR, Merck KGAA Darmstadt Germany, and Onto Innovation have set for themselves to address these numbers.
The three speakers talk about how a culture of DEIB will positively impact the future of technology. They also explain their respective company’s strategies in using DEIB to address the talent shortage in the semiconductor industry.
The speakers also field call-in questions from listeners about fostering a culture of inclusion and building the semiconductor workforce.
- Shari Liss, of SEMI Foundation asks how companies can foster a workplace culture that not only attracts diverse talent, but also ensures an inclusive environment where everyone, regard feels valued, respected, and empowered to deliver their best.
- Cath Rossi-Roos of Roos Instruments, asks about the willingness of companies to subsidize education of the next generation of engineers to solve the workforce shortage.
- Joy Racowski, of EMD Electronics asks how we can better frame allyship as an ongoing effort.
Caryn Veach, of Kokusai Semiconductor Equipment Corporation asks for advice on creating more male allies on the engineering staff. She also wants to know how they can make women engineers in the field feel part of the company when they aren’t supported by a local office.
