Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committed to DE&I Our diverse workforce reflects the communities we serve and positions us to deliver incredible experiences for our customers. It’s not enough to say we support DE&I—we have a responsibility to put our words into action every day. Following our merger with Sprint, we deepened our commitment by launching our five-year Equity In Action (EIA) plan. This bold plan puts DE&I at the center of everything we do for our employees, our customers, and our communities. We built EIA by listening to our employees. Their feedback offered a wealth of insight that helped map out a plan to address where we needed to evolve, shift, and align as an organization. This led to three focus areas that anchor our EIA plan. The Three Pillars of Equity In Action TALENT We will recruit, retain, and develop the best team in the history of our industry and increase the diversity in our leadership at every level of our company. Strengthening the pipeline of diverse talent up to the executive level makes us a stronger, smarter, and better company. CULTURE We will maintain a company culture of respect and inclusion, where each individual can contribute and innovate to deliver the best customer experience. BRAND We seek to remain steadfast in advocating for all communities by doing our part to eradicate the homework gap for students and helping enable everyone to have access to connectivity. We also support educational and upskilling opportunities that will help make the 5G era, and the digital economy, more equitable. IN CONVERSATION WITH HOLLI MARTINEZ, VICE PRESIDENT OF DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION Q. How do you help ensure DE&I continues to be rooted in T-Mobile’s culture? Embedding DE&I into our culture involves grounding and customizing DE&I initiatives into each line of business strategy. Our Equity In Action pillars of Talent, Culture, and Brand objectives and key results are aligned to business goals, ERG strategy, and throughout our local DE&I Chapters. This allows us to streamline DE&I behaviors and practices while addressing the unique business and local needs. We continue to focus on creating a more diverse and inclusive workplace by investing in efforts that give all our employees the opportunity to become involved— from building greater diversity into leadership functions across the company to empowering ERGs to focus on the dimensions of inclusion most relevant to our employees and their communities. Q. What have been some of the most successful ways your team has engaged and partnered with stakeholders on DE&I initiatives? Engagement and advocacy start with listening. Whether it’s business, people, or customer pain points, the best solutions come from these perspectives. We are proud of ensuring our employees are heard and act to make sure their needs are met and exceeded. Our Inclusion Council leaders are advocates for employee pain points and DE&I initiatives, elevating employee voices and employee engagement. Q. What are some of the key challenges to advancing DE&I efforts and how do you see T-Mobile addressing them? The biggest challenge DE&I faces is polarized discourse in our society. We must focus on what unites us rather than what divides us in order to create the culture of respect required to unlock the creativity and innovation born from our differences. At T-Mobile, we have never been afraid to have hard conversations. Whether it’s Talking with Trailblazers, team discussions, or open forums, we face real issues head on. We are Team Magenta, One Team passionate about connecting people to their world. Q. Tell us about a recent achievement in this space that you are most proud of. I am most proud of the accomplishments through the advocacy of our ERGs. When our Women and Allies Network pointed out gaps in our benefits for family planning and conception, we addressed those pain points with increased benefits. When our Veterans and Allies group identified a pain point with military spouses, we fixed it. When our Pride and Allies group called out a need for enhanced surrogacy benefits, we increased them. What I am most proud of is that DE&I is not a campaign, a slogan, or a window dressing. DE&I is authentic advocacy for equity for our employees, customers, suppliers, and communities. 2021 CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY REPORT 29 OUR COMPANY THE NUMBERS AND SMALL PRINT OUR COMMUNITIES OUR GOVERNANCE OUR PEOPLE THE ENVIRONMENT
