Baker Hughes' Black Employee Network Hosts Membership Week to Build Inclusion Through Dialogue and Allyship

Programming example

Last week, the Black Employee Network led a “Membership Week” with a variety of fun and thought-provoking activities, games, and coffee chats to help expand our community and strengthen allyship across @Baker Hughes. The Black Employee Network is one of the eight global Employee Resource Groups at Baker Hughes that are open to everyone and dedicated to empowering employees, amplify diverse voices and foster an inclusive culture worldwide.

As the executive sponsor of the Black Employee Network at Baker Hughes, I’m extremely grateful for everyone who showed up with courage, vulnerability and insight. It was amazing to see new and familiar faces - our community is growing stronger and more connected.

I had the privilege of hosting a powerful and candid conversation alongside Ryan McAllister and members of our Black Employee Network. The discussion was an open forum for honesty, listening and learning. One key takeaway that kept coming up was the importance of embracing change. While not often easy, it’s through change that we grow, innovate, and create stronger communities. Whether it’s in leadership, career growth, or community- building, we can all be agents of change when we embrace it rather than resist it.

These discussions are vital. They not only help shape our understanding but also inform the actions we take to build a more diverse and inclusive workplace. We're shaping the future of the energy industry - and that future belongs to all of us. At Baker Hughes, we believe unique ideas and perspectives fuel innovation, and our differences make us stronger. I’m truly committed to keeping these conversations going, more importantly, turning words into meaningful change.

Thank you to all that shared their voice! Together, we take energy forward.
