Hinweis der Redaktion

  1. Looked at variety of companies Variety of industries and # of employees I chose randomly at first, and then Esther and I brainstormed for more *I only looked online – some of the CR pages were easier to find than others
  2. This is where Adobe falls As you can see compared to other companies we have one of the lowest number of employees
  3. Youth program initiatives: Girls Who Code Strong employee participation: (2015) Last year we had 47% of total employee engagement (close to 50%) Strong local/community relationships & Media coverage: Mercury news and radio for Girls Who Code; got it covered immediately Web presence: our CR page is very accessible for people- easy to find
  4. Adobe: Volunteer grants: 10 hours = $250
  5. Safeway: The Safeway Foundation – Education Supports numerous youth development organizations and broad range of after-school and physical education programs Participates in Electronic Strip Incorporated eScrip program: enables consumers to direct a percentage of their grocery purchases to be donated to school of their choice 2013: donated over $20 million to local schools through eScrip requesting that schools assign 20% of contributions to nutrition and fitness programs that help children stay active and healthy Microsoft: Digi Girlz High Tech Camp for Girls (one of Microsoft’s signature programs) Works to dispel stereotypes of high-tech industry (like GWC), started in 2000, has grown to over 45 locations locally and abroad, 16 countries host sessions During session girls listen to executive speakers, participate in technology tours and demonstrations, network and learn through hands-on experience in workshops Bank of America: Bank of America Student Leaders Program Award 225 high school and senior paid summer internships Prepare young people for bright future Participate In Student Leaders Summit in Washington D.C. 2016 focus: building a more inclusive society and pathway to leadership Apple: Offer free hour-long Youth Workshops, field trips, apple camps Apple camp: 8-12 years old, 3-session experience at local store Kids can choose to explore coding and robotics, moviemaking, or storytelling Field trips for students & teachers: “unforgettable learning experience” Enhance and align with what kids are already learning in classroom Create something amazing right on the spot with Apple products Teachers: learn how to enhance curriculum with help of Apple products and content Google: have a lot Project blocks: research project, create open platform that developers can use to make tangible programming experiences that teach computational thinking to kids Made with code: initiative designed to inspire girls to experience the power of code Google RISE awards: grants designed to promote/support extracurricular Computer Science education initiatives for K-12/pre-university students around the world Google science fair: global competition, open to ages 13-18, students submit project online
  6. 13
  7. Key takeaways: taking ideas from other companies that have interesting CR attributes How can we use something like these at Adobe?
  8. Empower nearly 1 million women through training Help women learn how to successfully partner with large retailer Share important insights about customers, buying trends, product development, promotions, packaging Diversity program initiative: Empower women by increasing sourcing from women-owned businesses Empowering women together: Online Shoppers can buy unique, interesting products while supporting small women-owned businesses around the world (apparel/accessories, jewelry, home décor, fine foods Inspirational stories With each purchase, consumers empower women behind these products to create new jobs and improve both their own lives and lives of their families and communities At launch, offered shoppers more than 200 items from 19 businesses in 9 countries Part of Women’s Economic Empowerment Initiative’s commitment to source $20 billion from women-owned businesses
  9. Empowering workers: preparing people for the workplace and beyond Giving workers opportunities to learn Provide training in factories to help workers be better informed, offer classes to help them take the next steps in their careers Can Adobe do something like this and offer workshops/free courses to employees to learn more about products? For example, someone who works in CR, on the investment side of Adobe might not know much about Adobe’s products (ex: photoshop) Can Adobe offer once a month workshops at night where someone who is focused on photoshop volunteers to run a free course so that employees can better understand the products and be more knowledgeable, experience different things that adobe offers? 1.4 million SEED participants since 2008, including 558,692 participants in 2015 In the bottom picture, a facility employee practices calligraphy – font creation – during a SEED class
  10. Makes it very easy for employees to be informed about the different nonprofits that they can donate their money and time to Social innovation – should be self-fulfilling Donate to a nonprofit that will have an impact on your life
  11. Talk about different projects worked on this summer: Girls Who Code Dow Jones Google Impact Challenge CR Research project Talk about social innovation project with Liz “Purpose project” Goal: How can Adobe give its employees a sense of purpose by connecting them to social issues? For example: Can a new employee receive a “green box” with volunteering opportunities, grant making opportunities, and big local social issues and how can Adobe products help solve these issues? First, let’s think about Maslow Hierarchy of Needs – What is at the top? And how can Adobe help its employees get there? Top: self actualization (achieving one’s full potential, self-fulfillment needs, need for personal growth and discovery, find meaning in life = important, leads people in different directions, varies from person to person Exposed to a variety of things this summer that CR offers – opened my eyes to the different things that people in this department do/focus on
