Ganesh Moorthy, President and Chief Executive Officer
Microchip’s business purpose is, "Empowering innovation which enhances the human experience by delivering smart, connected and secure technology solutions." The key to realizing this purpose lies in the strength of our company culture. Through our culture and innovative solutions, we strive to be a great place to work and build one’s career. In this spirit, we value diversity and inclusion and believe employees of all backgrounds contribute to our ongoing success. It is important that we support the needs of our employees without regard to race, color, ethnicity, national origin, religion, age, disability, gender (including gender expression and gender identity), sex, or sexual orientation.
At Microchip, we understand that our commitment to inclusion, diversity and equal opportunity for all begins at the top. We believe diversity is a fact, inclusion is a choice, and a sense of belonging is the result. We choose to foster inclusivity because we recognize the power of inclusion and diversity to better the lives of our employees and strengthen the performance of our company. Inclusion and diversity are not just words to us; they are part of two important Guiding Values practiced every day: "Employees Are Our Greatest Strength" and "Continous Improvement Is Essential." This guides the way we do business and helps ensure our future success.
Microchip reinforces these values with programs to foster greater dialogue and mentorship opportunities for employees of underrepresented groups, and we have implemented methods to recruit, retain and promote qualified candidates from diverse groups. We have implemented leadership training classes on the importance of diversity and inclusion in the workplace and as part of our commmunity-building efforts, we provide paid time off for employees to give back to those in need through community volunteer work. We also make charitable contributions to a variety of organizations, including our own charitable foundation, AZFirst.
We are proud to have been included in Newsweek magazine's 2022 and 2023 listings for America's Greatest Workplaces for Women and America's Greatest Workplaces for Diversity. We have recieved similar awards for our locations around the world and are honored to be recognized by the many communities where we operate.
Our Guiding Values are key to our success as a company. By having strong stakeholder relationships with our employees, customers, sales channels, suppliers, investors and communities, we make certain that Microchip is well prepared to continue to deliver on our vision to "Be the very best embedded control solutions company ever.”
