The D&I 2023 report is out! I'm thrilled to share #SAP’s newly published 3rd annual #Diversity & #Inclusion Report 2023, demonstrating our continuous dedication and hard work towards achieving a more diverse and inclusive environment within our organization. This report not only presents the progress we've accomplished in the past year, but also showcases the impact of a comprehensive D&I strategy that spans across our #workforcediversity, #workplaceinclusion, and marketplace #leadership on the success of SAP and our ecosystem. Excitingly, it provides fresh insights drawn from our first-ever globally conducted and anonymous self-identification diversity survey, and includes data related to external hiring. This intersectional data helps in firing up meaningful conversations and initiatives to foster further #inclusivity at SAP. A huge shoutout to Supriya Jha and her fantastic team, along with the Executive Sponsors and allies at SAP. These dedicated colleagues work tirelessly and consistently in driving systemic inclusion at SAP in collaboration with our Employee Network Groups. Please take a moment to delve into the report to understand the strides we've made within the last year. I believe that the steps we've taken to maintain diversity and inclusion are critical in laying the foundation for a successful and respectful work environment. Promoting diversity is a journey, not a destination. Let's keep pushing forward towards a more inclusive future! #DiversityatSAP #InclusionatSAP #LifeAtSAP

Are you ready for SAP's #Sapphire2024 in Orlando next week?! This flagship event is always an incredible moment for our SAP team to showcase the innovations that help businesses adapt to a landscape of digital transformation, and I know there will be no shortage of hot topics to discuss. As the world embarks on the era of #genAI, we are challenged to stay vigilant, responsible, and curious in embracing the digital age. One critical aspect of driving innovation and creativity in this new landscape is Diversity and Inclusion. Join us for special sessions on the importance of Diversity and Inclusion to innovation and creativity. We have sessions on: 🎤 Breaking biases 🎤 Strengthening underrepresented communities 🎤 Insights from military leadership, and 🎤 Neurodiversity Discover how embracing diverse thinking styles can enhance our ability to harness AI's full potential.  During the event, I personally will be sharing insights on Neurodiversity in the workplace and our #autismatwork program and share where SAP is moving next on this topic. If you are attending in person, do stop by and say hello! 🙂 Registration for our in-person and virtual Orlando conference, as well as our Barcelona event, is open now: https://lnkd.in/eXmEuqhA #SapphireNow #Neurodiversity #Innovation #Creativity #AI #DigitalTransformation #Inclusion Let's make #Sapphire2024 a space for groundbreaking ideas and inclusive growth!

For technology to be truly innovative and inclusive, we need a diverse team to bring in all ideas and perspectives. A diverse workforce is part of our strength at SAP and enables us to create a powerful portfolio for our customers. One important element of creating diversity has been our #AutismAtWork program, helping us to bring in employees on the spectrum with valuable skills and ideas which contribute to our success. I‘ve seen the impacts in both big and small ways when meeting colleagues around the globe. During my meeting with the Autism at Work colleagues in India late last year, one of the colleagues correctly identified the day of the week that I was born on, within seconds of me sharing my date of birth. That’s a fun party trick but imagine what sort of possibilities such a quick mind could create in other scenarios! And that is what the colleague does at SAP. April is #AutismAcceptanceMonth, a time to educate ourselves, promote understanding, acceptance, and support for everyone on the spectrum. At the dawn of a new AI era, I’m excited that we’re also exploring how diversity & inclusion and #AI can intersect. In case you missed it, we hosted a virtual event for Autism Acceptance Month last week. SAP colleagues working in the AI and product inclusion space explored what inclusive AI development is and how the neurodivergent community can contribute to the future of AI, incorporating it into their professional and even personal lives.
