AT&T Chairman and CEORandall Stephensonstates that diversity “makes us stronger because it helps us create powerful, lasting relationships with our customers and communities. As we continue to grow as a company, that commitment will grow with us.”
Randall has been at the forefront of AT&T’s diversity efforts since he created the chief diversity officer position in 2009 and started the executive diversity council, which he continues to chair. He connects the ability to have a diverse and inclusive workforce with customer and community relations by monitoring diversity progress and pushing for the growth of the employee resource groups.
Randall and most of his direct reports attend AT&T’s annualemployee-resource group summit,where thousands of employees gather each year to improve the groups’ abilities to recruit and develop talent and relate to the increasingly diverse consumer base.
