Who are you?
Hi, my name is Andrea Clarkson. I am a diversity and belonging business partner for Workday, EMEA, APAC, and Japan. Come and ask me a question about my personal journey, my mental health journey, and experiencing mental health challenges in your family. Ask me about leadership and asks me about how we value inclusion, belonging, and equity at Workday.
What do you do at Workday?
I'm a diversity and belonging partner for EMEA, APAC, and Japan. And at Workday, when we're talking about diversity and belonging, we talk about valuing inclusion, belonging, and equity. So my role is enabling the Workday organisation and supporting our leaders to make sure that everyone has an equitable experience. Everyone feels like they're included and that they belong at Workday.
What was your journey like to Workday?
So I am four months in Workday after nine years in my last company. And I joke just in terms of that I was so excited to join Workday that waiting for that call from my recruiter was actually like being back in the dating scene again for me. So I was sitting there by my phone hoping I was going to get the call, that they would offer me the job. And the reason why is I had such amazing journey from the moment I spoke to the recruiter, to everyone who interviewed me. I really got a sense of the organisation culture and its values. And since I've joined, I genuinely can say that I've never had that sense of belonging in an organisation so quickly. And I know belonging is in my title, so I think that's so powerful and makes me so excited about my future at Workday and the future for Workday as a company
