WE President and Founder, Jackie Mattox, chats with Meenal Sethna, EVP & CFO of Littelfuse. Meenal talks about transferrable skills coming into a new industry and enlisting help from her team, channel partners, customers, and other CFO colleagues. Meenal discusses diversity and inclusion initiatives as a strategy to support the company's biggest asset, their employees. Meenal also stresses the importance of Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) as being a part of the company's advancement to improve the bottom line, providing a good line of two-way communication between employees and management, and giving a sense of belonging to their employees. Meenal also tells us about WIN — Women's Initiative Network, which started as an employee grassroots effort (now global), that operates based on goals (educate, engage, empower, and elevate) that align with the Littelfuse corporate vision. Meenal talks about the importance of “listening sessions" and forming a Diversity & Inclusion Council as a channel for other potential ERGs with the ultimate vision to further unite the team at Littelfuse across the globe while increasing the bottom line.
