Symantec Twitter Chat Recap: "Bridging the Workforce and Diversity Gaps”

What could companies do better when it comes to diversity in the workplace, and how can we address the skills gap happening across certain industries like tech?

On Thursday, September 18th, TriplePundit addressed these issues as we hosted "Bridging the Workforce and Diversity Gaps" on Twitter at #diversity.

We engaged corporate responsibility thought leaders in conversation around affirmative action, gender gaps, transnational human rights issues, and much more.

Symantec panelists included: 

• Cecily Joseph, VP of Corporate Responsibility & Chief Diversity Officer at Symantec Corporation.


• Marian Merritt, Director of Cyber Education and Online Safety Programs for Symantec Corporation.

Guests participants included: 

• Meghan Ennes, Community Coordinator at the Shared Value Initiative.


• Susan McPherson, passionate cause marketer, angel investor, and corporate responsibility expert.

During the course of this hour-long chat, we reached over a million Twitter accounts and generated millions of Twitter impressions across the social media site! Just a few of your distinguished participants included Seth Leitman, David Connor, John Friedman, Milinda Martin, and Henk Campher.

Below is the Storify summary of the conversation on #diversity as it took place. For more information on Symantec's CSR program, feel free to reach out to Cecily Joseph or Marian Merritt via Twitter.
