This episode features an interview with Suzan Moro-Wade, EVP and CHRO at Xerox, and your host Sultan Saidov, Co-Founder and President at Beamery. Suzan works in partnership with senior leadership to drive a human capital strategy that facilitates the company’s transformation, future growth and success. Specifically, she is focused on instilling best practices around organization capability, diversity and inclusion, talent management, learning, total rewards and the work environment.

Suzan discusses how she measures success in acquiring talent, creating a safe space for employees, and the critical role ERGs are playing at Xerox to promote diversity and inclusion. 

About Xerox:

For more than 100 years, Xerox has continually redefined the workplace experience. Harnessing our leadership position in office and production print technology, we’ve expanded into software and services to sustainably power today’s workforce. From the office to industrial environments, our differentiated business solutions and financial services are designed to make everyday work better for clients — no matter where that work is being done. Today, Xerox scientists and engineers are continuing our legacy of innovation with disruptive technologies in digital transformation, augmented reality, robotic process automation, additive manufacturing, the Industrial Internet of Things, and cleantech.

Quote:

“But I will say, one of the things that is a real differentiator for us is our approach to how we engage people before they join. And that is, we offer access to various diverse talent to meet and speak to, to learn about the company and the culture, before someone comes in the door. The culture piece, the culture fit, and the culture complement are so important. And so we offer candidates the ability to speak with like peers before they join, so they can get a sense of the culture.” - Suzan Morno-Wade from Xerox
