Inclusion Defines Everything

Being the chairperson of Xero’s employee resource group for women in the U.S. has helped Christina Rowe grow in many ways. “My involvement made it easier to connect and support others in their career journey, and feel supported myself,” she said. With plans to fill 45 percent of its leadership roles with women by 2025, the accounting software organization is putting inclusion at the forefront of its culture. But that’s not the only way in which the team is expanding diversity. By joining any of the company’s more than 20 ERGs, employees can share their voices and drive change. For Rowe, Xero’s focus on education also bolsters its diversity, equity and inclusion efforts: “Having the chance to continually learn from each other is exciting.”

CREATING SAFE SPACES

Share your voice and find support

As an ERG leader, Christina Rowe does more than schedule events. “My role involves listening to the needs of group members regarding career development, community and more,” she said. Through her ERG involvement, Rowe has gained a greater understanding of her peers’ diverse life experiences and skill sets while fostering dialogue related to topics that are often avoided in the workplace, such as women’s health. “It’s been a great way to help other women grow their careers and create a safe space for hard conversations,” she said.

Erika Porras Gutierrez

Platform Engineer

Erika Porras Gutierrez’s work leading Xero’s ERG for Indigenous Americans has enhanced her employee experience in several ways. “It has clarified what inclusion really means, taught me new ways of interacting with people and made me more empathetic,” she said. Not only has she grown personally due to this role, but it’s also encouraged her to engage with other engineering teams in an effort to better understand her peers’ needs. She’s currently helping plan an event that will enable Indigenous people to share their unique stories with others in the company.

Sharing our lives and our stories is how people connect and create community, and that is exactly what ERGs are all about.
