Baker Hughes' Cross-ERG Pickleball Networking Event Strengthens Inclusion and Belonging

Programming example

We had an amazing time at our recent Pickleball Networking Event, a cross-ERG/COI collaboration here at Baker Hughes, hosted by the Black Employee Network, Asian Pacific American Forum, and the Leaders of Tomorrow. It was a fun afternoon on the court and a meaningful opportunity to bring people together and connect across backgrounds, teams, and experiences.

Huge thanks to Matthew Lee, APAF, and LoT for their contributions throughout the planning process, and to my BEN colleagues Jenelle Germain-Huggins, CLTD, H. Sultan D., and Eugene Boakye-Firempong for their great ideas and input throughout. It was a privilege to work alongside them and bring this event to life.

The turnout was fantastic, the energy was high, and the spirit of diversity, inclusion, and belonging was felt throughout. Events like this remind us of the power of community and what we can build when we collaborate across our company.

Looking forward to the next event already!
