And that’s just scratching the surface. The following values inform every decision NetApp makes—from customer interactions and social causes to designing solutions and supporting their employees. At NetApp, living these values is essential. Put the customer at the center - You don’t become a deeply trusted, indispensable partner without listening to customers, walking in their shoes, and propelling your orbit with a strong point of view. Care for each other and our communities - Caring for each other and our communities takes large doses of humility and kindness—mixed with building deep, authentic connections and topped with an unwavering commitment to collaboration. Build belonging every day - By embedding diversity and inclusion into every decision that we make, we open the door to other voices, different perspectives, and most important, our true potential for innovation. Embrace a growth mindset - We step out of our comfort zone even when it's scary and learn from both our failures and our successes. This keeps us from stepping into the dreaded fixed-mindset quicksand. Think and act like owners - Showing up with our A game, being accountable, and acting with speed and integrity are the keys to unlocking the sense of ownership that's necessary to create the future. Celebrating differences, embracing new solutions - To our NetApp® team, walking the talk means we must hold ourselves accountable in our work toward greater demographic, physical and cognitive diversity. Embracing a culture of diversity requires that we create opportunities for equity, inclusion, diversity, and belonging (DEI&B) every day. And the culture of inclusion at NetApp fosters a strong community that’s empowered to innovate. The diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging goals are a continuous process of self-reflection and growth, to build belonging within our culture, values and business practices. "We believe that the strongest and most creative teams have the best talent, are unified in purpose, and diverse in thought and background representing the customers and communities we serve." George Kurian, CEO, NetApp
