Video: Antoine Andrews of Symantec Talks Diversity at Net Impact '14

"From a business perspective, we look at diversity as a way to help us make better business decisions, to make sure that we're innovative," Antoine Andrews, director of global diversity and inclusion for Symantec, said at the 2014 Net Impact conference.

"I like to use the term 'insider' and 'outsider.' We've all been in situations where we were either an insider or an outsider," he continued.

"So, if you look at inclusion from that perspective -- of how to help people get comfortable in environments, to be able to be a little bit more creative, to be able to challenge the status quo -- really helps organizations get into a better place."
