Employee community impact Cisco is also bringing about an inclusive future through the positive actions taken by tens of thousands of employees in communities around the world. Making positive impact a habit is part of what it means to work at Cisco and is an important aspect of our culture. In fiscal 2017, we set a goal to achieve 80 percent employee participation in community impact by 2020. We achieved that goal last year and sustained it through fiscal 2021. This was possible through a new approach that celebrates all the ways employees take positive action, including volunteering, donating, building awareness around critical social and environmental issues, supporting vulnerable communities, advocating for causes that matter, acting for inclusion, and living sustainably. The Community Impact Portal acts as a key entry point for engaging employees in learning, giving, and advocating on the biggest problems facing society, and provides extra motivation through virtual engagements. We have also embraced principles of behavioral science to nudge people to take action, such as giving all new hires a US$15 credit to donate to a nonprofit of their choice and integrating easy give-back actions into digital spaces, meetings, and business events. Improved data gathering capabilities give us visibility into how individuals and teams across Cisco are making an impact. As Cisco continues to establish itself as a thought leader in the community impact space, we are also working to extend our approach to the broader ecosystem of customers, partners, and suppliers. For example, at a key Cisco partner event, we developed a video featuring Francine Katsoudas, Executive Vice President and Chief People, Policy and Purpose Officer; Michael Bush, CEO of Great Place to Work®; and partner World Wide Technology (WWT) discussing how investing in employees and communities is critical to trust and business success.
