THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.
INSIGHT GLOBAL.
CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU.
>> THANK YOU.
IT'S A TREMENDOUS HONOR.
I'M HUMBLED TO BE ON THE LIST
AND I'M HUMBLED THAT PEOPLE IN
OUR COMPANY FEEL THIS WAY ABOUT
ME.
MARIA: IT'S GREAT EMPLOYEES
MADE THIS CALL.
YOU SAID THIS IS YOUR MOST
IMPORTANT PRIORITY.
>> IT IS, 100%.
WE BELIEVE THAT EVERYONE MATTERS
AT INSIGHT GLOBAL.
WE ARE OBSESSED WITH OUR
PEOPLE'S DEVELOPMENT.
95% OF THE PEOPLE WE HIRE IN OUR
ORGANIZATION START OFF AT THE
RECRUITER LEVEL IF YOU LOOK
ACROSS THE ORGANIZATION, OUR
PRESIDENTS, VICE PRESIDENTS, WE
STARTED AS RECRUITERS, EVEN
MYSELF.
IF TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT P
ISN'T OUR FIRST PRIORITY, WE'RE
DOING SOMETHING WRONG.
>> HOW MANY EMPLOYEES DO YOU
HAVE?
>> JUST OVER 3,000 INTERNAL
EMPLOYEES AND OVER 20,000
CONTRACTORS ARE PUT TO WORK
EVERY DAY AT OUR CLIENTS.
>> EVERY COMPANY SAYS WE VALUE
OUR PEOPLE, WE TRAIN OUR PEOPLE.
CAN YOU GIVE US SPECIFICS,
GRANULAR, ON WHAT YOU ACTUALLY
DO?
BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S MORE
INSPIRING THAN,
INSPIRING SHAN,
INSPIRING SAYN,
INSPIRING SAYING WE
INSPIRING TAYING WE
INSPIRING THAING WE
INSPIRING THANNG WE
INSPIRING THAN S WE
INSPIRING THAN SAYE
INSPIRING THAN SAYING WE LOVE
OUR PEOPLE.
>> I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH TIME
YOU HAVE.
FIRST OFF, WE HIRE ABOUT 1500
RECRUITERS EVERY YEAR.
AS SOON AS THEY START, THEY GET
A RECRUITER PROMOTION GUIDE.
IT'S A STEP BY STEP GUIDE THAT
TAKES THEM THROUGH THEIR FIRST
MONTH ON THE JOB.
WE BRING EVERYBODY IN FOR
TRAINING ON THEIR 12th DAY
WITH THE COMPANY.
WE BRING ALL OF OUR RECRUITERS
BACK ONCE BEFORE THEY GET
PROMOTED TO ACCOUNT MANAGER
ROLE.
WE BRING OUR PEOPLE BACK INTO
TRAINING ONCE, IF NOT TWICE A
YEAR.
WE ARE INTENTIONAL ABOUT HOW WE
DEVELOP OUR PEOPLE.
IF
WE FEEL IF WE TAKE CARE OF THEM
FIRST, IF WE HELP THEM BECOME
THE BEST VERSION OF THEMSELVES,
THEY'LL EXCEED OUR EXPECTATIONS.
>> THERE'S A LOT OF DEBATE ABOUT
EMPLOYEES, A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK
-- PARTICULARLY YOUNGER
EMPLOYEES ARE GETTING NEEDIER,
MORE DEMANDING OF COMPANIES.
CEOS ARE THINKING OF HOW TO
FOSTER THAT HAPPINESS.
DO YOU SEE A CHANGE IN WHAT THEY
WANT?
HOW IS A WORKER'S EXEC
HOW IS A WORKER'S EXPC
HOW IS A WORKER'S EXPECTATION OF
THEIR EMPLOYER CHANGING?
>> PEOPLE WANT OPPORTUNITY.
PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW WHAT THEY
CAREER PATH IS.
AND SO WHETHER YOU'RE OLD OR
YOUNG.
THAT IS A BIG CHECK TO WRITE FOR
MANAGEMENT.
YOU HAVE TO BE INTENTIONAL ABOUT
THAT HAVE YOU TO MAKE SURE
YOU'RE CREATING A GOOD CAREER
PATH AND PROVIDING GOOD TRAINING
FOR THEM.
WHETHER YOU'RE OLD OR YOUNG,
IT'S THE SAME.
YOU NEED TO INVEST IN YOUR
PEOPLE AND CONTINUE TO MAKE
THEM, AGAIN, THE BEST VERSIONS
OF THEMSELVES.
MARIA: YOU'VE INVESTED A LOT IN
WOMEN AS WELL.
>> CORRECT.
MARIA: THE COMPANY RANKED HIGH
UP, OVER 50% OF WOMEN IN THE
COMPANY, TOP COMPANIES FOR WOMEN
LAST SUMMER.
>> WE'RE PROUD OF THAT.
WE HAVE AMAZING WOMEN IN THE
ORGANIZATION.
MORE THAN 65% OF PEOPLE IN OUR
ORGANIZATION ARE WOMEN.
OVER 65% OF OUR LEADERSHIP ARE
WOMEN.
61% OF THE TOP EARNERS IN OUR
COMPANY ARE WOMEN.
DAGEN: SILICON VALLEY HAS A
HORRIBLE DIVERSE
HORRIBLE DIVERSITY PROBLEM.
APPLE, WOMEN MAKE UP ONE-THIRD
OF THE GLOBAL WORKFORCE IN
TECHNOLOGY JOBS.
IT'S LESS THAN ONE-QUARTER OF
THE WORKFORCE ARE WOMEN.
THAT YOU'RE OVER HALF, THAT
YOU'RE REFLECTING THE NATION,
THAT --
MARIA: I LOVE THAT.
>> A SUCCESSFUL P COMPANY
>> A SUCCESSFUL C COMPANY
>> A SUCCESSFUL COMOMPANY
>> A SUCCESSFUL COMPAPANY
>> A SUCCESSFUL COMPANYNY
>> A SUCCESSFUL COMPANY LIKE
YOURSELF, HOW DO YOU NOT BECOME
INWARD LOOKING.
WE'VE SEEN COMPANIES IN THE PAST
BECOME IN A BUBBLE.
HOW DO YOU KEEP DYNAMIC?
>> IT'S IMPORTANT TO SURROUND
MYSELF AS CEO WITH PEOPLE THAT
HAVE A DIVERSITY OF THOUGHT.
WHO DOESN'T LIKE BEING AGREED
WITH ALL THE TIME?
IT'S GREAT.
BUT AT THE SAME TIME, IT'S
IMPORTANT FOR ME TO HAVE PEOPLE
THAT ARE NOT AFRAID TO CHALLENGE
ME AND THAT FEEL SAFE ENOUGH
THAT THEY CAN SAY, HEY, I THINK
WE'RE GOING IN A WRONG DIRECTION
OR HEY, I THINK WE SHOULD FOCUS
MORE OVER HERE AND I KNOW IT'S
IMPORTANT FOR ME TO LISTEN TO
THOSE PEOPLE.
I THINK IF YOU DO THAT AS A CEO
AND AS A COMPANY YOU CAN BE THE
BEST VERSION OF YOURSELF.
MARIA: GREAT CULTURE.
