Friday Facts: Pixar’s Take on Inclusive Onboarding
Posted on Friday, May 10th, 2019
As we are currently in the process of interviewing and onboarding a many new employees across the College, I though it might be timely to invite you to watch this funny video from Pixar.
Purl, directed by Kristen Lester and produced by Gillian Libbert-Duncan, features an earnest ball of yarn named Purl who gets a job in a fast-paced, high energy, bro-tastic start-up. Yarny hijinks ensue as she tries to fit in, but how far is she willing to go to get the acceptance she yearns for, and in the end, is it worth it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6uuIHpFkuo
Take some time to reflect on the important themes highlighted in this short, including:
- Representation:is about allowing people to see themselves in the a workplace, including its leadership, the stories and artifacts.
- Inclusion: is a sense of belonging: feeling respected, valued for who you are; feeling a level of supportive energy and commitment from others so than you can do your best work.
- Authenticity: is about being fully yourself while developing and growing beyond your comfort zone.
