Best Buy Fiscal Year 2022 ESG Report | 49 Diversity, Equity & Inclusion . Candid Conversations: Best Buy continues to virtually host Candid Conversations, a powerful forum for finding connection with colleagues through purposeful conversation and the ‘art’ of storytelling. The series focuses on complex cultural issues considered hard to talk about in the workplace. By creating relaxed, inclusive environments that encourage vulnerability, we find courage in exchanging the stories and perspectives of our difficult realities, helping us better empathize with those around us, regardless of differences. In FY22, we held eight Candid Conversations with a total live, virtual attendance of 10,900 employees across the enterprise. The sessions were also recorded for employees to watch at their convenience and for teams to use as a tool for deeper discussions. Topics included: Confronting anti-Asian hate in the era of COVID: Addressing the massive increase in violent and hateful acts against the Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) community since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. The silent anxiety of our foreign-born colleagues: Discussing the challenges of the legal immigration process and how it impacts our Best Buy community. One-year anniversary of George Floyd, now recognized as “Day of Enlightenment”: Discussing how our lives have changed, as well as our communities and company, since the murder of George Floyd. Anti-Transgender Legislation: Addressing the plethora of anti-LGBTQIA+ bills that have been introduced in states across the country — many specifically targeting transgender youth. Working Across Generations: Discussing the stereotypes, as well as the perspectives and insights each generation — Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X and Baby Boomers — brings to the table. Indigenous Peoples’ Day: Discussing the thousands of native nations that first inhabited the Americas, including land that later became the United States of America.
