Belonging is fundamental to building a diverse team for Stutesman, who fosters it by ensuring team members understand the “why” of their work; embracing them for who they are; and incorporating engaging team activities into their weekly workflow. Stutesman also involves the entire team in decision-making. “If you build a diverse team and only certain voices are heard, then you lose out on the benefits of building diversity in the first place,” Stutesman said. With an equitable and inclusive culture, Stutesman unlocks those benefits and helps the team build more inclusive products.
