9月. 15 marks the start of Hispanic Heritage Month. As executive co-sponsor of the 微米 Hispanic Professionals (MHP) employee resource group, I want to reflect on the occasion and honor the contributions of the MHP to 微米’s culture.
Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month at 微米
Hispanic Heritage Month, observed annually from 9月. 15日至10月. 15, provides an invaluable opportunity to recognize the contributions of Hispanic and Latino Americans to the history, culture and achievements of the United States. 给我们的民族行动党成员, this month serves as a catalyst for yearlong activities to foster diversity, 包容与专业成长.
Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month is not just about observance or recognition; it’s also about leveraging the diverse talents, perspectives and experiences that our Hispanic and Latino colleagues bring to the table. These differences are culturally enriching — and they are a business imperative.
一项研究 哈佛大学 found that companies with above average diversity also have higher innovation revenues by 19% and earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) margins by 9% points higher than companies that lack diversity. So creating space for more Hispanics in the semiconductor industry is both the right thing to do and good for business.
与SHPE合作
我们与 Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE) aligns perfectly with 微米’s prioritization of 包容 and empowerment. SHPE’s mission — to empower the Hispanic community to realize its fullest potential and impact the world through science, 技术, engineering and mathematics (STEM) awareness, 访问, support and development — complements our 一些承诺 to increase representation in the semiconductor industry. The Hispanic community has a rich history in the sciences. 通过与SHPE合作, we’re building on that history and launching rewarding science and engineering careers in the 21st century.
拓展人才渠道
As the complexity of our technologies increases, the semiconductor industry faces a growing skills gap that is especially wide among underrepresented communities. 微米’s partnership with SHPE provides us with a direct channel to a talented, 高技能的工程师. Through internships and direct recruitment, our partnership with SHPE is helping us bridge the representation gap.
Driving innovation and breakthrough solutions
诺贝尔奖得主马里奥. Molina once said, “We need scientists all over the world from all different backgrounds.” In an industry driven by relentless innovation, different perspectives often result in groundbreaking solutions. SHPE专注于教育项目, skills development and mentorship equips Hispanic engineers with the tools they need to be catalysts for innovation. When we embrace this diversity in our teams, we are better suited to tackle complex engineering challenges.
回馈我们的社区
我们的承诺s extend beyond recruitment and internal development; they’re also about giving back to the community. Through STEM outreach programs targeted at Hispanic youth, we are investing in the next generation of engineers and leaders to uphold the values of diversity and 包容. This investment resonates deeply with our broader corporate social responsibility goals as we strive to make a positive difference for our colleagues, 我们的社区, 我们的客户和股东.
As we kick off the celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, I want to highlight the great work the MHP team has already accomplished, 比如启动语言位, a program teaching different 语言s over the lunch hour to celebrate 微米’s diverse cultures. Our work not only enriches 微米's culture but also differentiates us in the competitive and evolving semiconductor industry. We recommit ourselves as champions of diversity and 包容 and look forward to an amazing year ahead.
