Our People To Power an Inclusive Future for All, we must foster a Conscious Culture within. Conscious Culture at Cisco is a set of expectations, principles , and measures that we believe best define Cisco’s values, beliefs, and ethos. It’s a culture in which we all model inclusion and speak up when we see behavior that’s out of step with our beliefs. Conscious Culture informs all aspects of the Cisco employee experience. It’s evident in how we support employees across the full spectrum of diversity , as we work to create an environment where everyone feels welcomed, enabled by our technology, to fully participate in the businesses. It appears in how our teams engage day-to-day and how we empower people to chart their own career journeys. You can see Conscious Culture at work in how we care for our employees’ wellbeing at every stage of life, and the compassion our employees bring to supporting our communities . Living a Conscious Culture requires us to act with dignity, respect, fairness, and equity in each of our interactions with one another, building a culture that allows us to become a catalyst for social change. By intentionally creating and cultivating an inclusive work environment where employees can thrive, Cisco is helping to bring about a better world.
