#068 - In this episode, Kay Fabella welcomes Dawn Osbourne, the chair of Adobe’s UK Black Employee Network (BEN) to discuss the benefits of employee networks for non-US teams.

Dawn shares why and how she was motivated to start a Black employee resource group (ERG) in the UK with the support of Adobe, and outlines the importance of cultivating belonging for an employee network-based outside of the US. Dawn shares how she was able to quickly scale BEN’s business impact around a mission that gave members and partners purpose and direction.

Finally, Dawn reflects on how the diversity and inclusion conversation has developed over the last 20+ years since she started working in tech, and the critical role of non-US employee networks in the conversation.
