Motorola Global Diversity Newsletter Q2 2009

Greg Lee, senior vice president, Human Resources, discussed the importance of diversity as keynote speaker at the “Understanding the Impact of the Economy in the Workplace” meeting held on 23 June. This event was sponsored by Motorola’s Office of Global Inclusion and Diversity and the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Business Council (GLBT).

“To us, diversity is an attribute that makes an individual unique,” Greg said. “Fostering diversity at Motorola isn’t a program or a campaign; it remains a core value that we integrate into every area of our company. Regardless of the current economic climate, curtailing our commitment to diversity and inclusion is not an option for us.”

Greg noted that diversity remains a priority at Motorola and that the company defines diversity as individuality. This individuality includes a wide spectrum of attributes such as age, race, ethnicity, personal style, sexual orientation, language, physical ability, religion, socioeconomic circumstances,

education and life experiences.

Motorola has successfully embedded diversity and inclusion into its culture which has given us the competitive advantage and strengths needed in today’s business climate. Our unwavering commitment to maintain an inclusive culture will contribute to greater achievements, and allow us to serve our customers better. All of this will ultimately fuel innovation and build a stronger company.

“As a global company, we not only embrace and value diverse individuals, opinions, cultures and abilities, but we also actively seek them. It is the unique perspectives and experiences of our employees that enable Motorola to pioneer so many innovative products and technologies.”

Greg BrownPresident & Co-CEO, Motorola, Inc.Chief Executive Officer, Broadband Mobility Solutions

“When I think about diversity, I think of a stimulating and impassioned dialogue among people with varying backgrounds, distinct opinions and strong belief systems where viewpoints are openly challenged in what I would depict as a battle of ideas. Ultimately, this exercise culminates in the development of innovative products and experiences for our diverse customers.”

Gene Delaney, president, Enterprise Mobility Solutions (EMS), was the keynote speaker at the “Align Your Career for Success” global seminar on 21 April. This event was hosted by Motorola’s Office of Global Inclusion and Diversity and the Black Business Council (BBC).

Gene, who joined Motorola in 1978, shared his views on how successful careers are built. “The thing you need to understand about a career is that it’s not a straight line,” he said. “You will hit some slow patches; or you may even determine that you have been in a job too long. You should think about

your career and leadership attributes in the totality of a career. If you stay authentic, if you inspire and stay engaged, good things will happen.”

Gene, executive sponsor of the BBC, was joined for this discussion on diversity and career advancement by Eduardo Conrado, chief marketing officer, Broadband Mobility Solutions Global Marketing; Lewis Steverson, corporate vice president, Law Department, Broadband Mobility Solutions; and BBC leader Catherine Smith, vice president and lead counsel, Law Department, Mobile Devices.

Motorolans play prominent roles at the RainbowPUSH Coalition ConferenceMotorolans Lewis Steverson and Jeanette Kilo-Smith participated in the 38th annual RainbowPUSH Coalition and Citizen Education Fund conference, which ended on 1 July in Chicago. This year’s theme – “A More Perfect Union: Targeted Stimulus, the Key to Reconstruction” – spoke to the challenges of confronting the global economic downturn and turning it into new opportunities.

Lewis, corporate vice president, Law Department, Broadband Mobility Solutions, served as keynote speaker for the conference’s international luncheon. His remarks focused on the business realities of the global recession and how Motorola and other technology companies are critical to drive bold, comprehensive

and coordinated action that will spur economic recovery. “Motorola sees an opportunity to define and negotiate what we call ‘international digital economy agreements,’” he said. “This reflects the convergence of goods, services and technology while appealing to a broad range of countries, thus creating a new negotiating dynamic that could enable the successful conclusion of these agreements and the continued growth of e-commerce.”

Jeanette, vice president of the Global Inclusion & Diversity office within Human Resources, participated in the PUSH Scholarship Awards Gala and presented scholarships to two students majoring in engineering.

The European Commission and Motorola partner to encourage young women to become interested in information technologyMotorola participated in the European Commission’s (EC) “Cyberellas are IT!” conference hosted on 3 March in Brussels, Belgium. Due to the declining number of women in information and communication technologies (ITC) careers, the EC has taken action to increase young women’s interest in the field.

“Getting more women into information and ITC careers would be a force for change and a major boost for this key economic sector,” said Viviane Reding, the European Union commissioner for

telecoms and media. During the event, she encouraged companies to sign a Code of Best Practices for Women in information and communication technologies. Karen Tandy, senior vice president for Public Affairs and Communications, signed the code on behalf of Motorola.

Motorola also was featured in an event video called “IT is Wicked!” You can view the video and learn more about the Code of Best Practices for Women in ICT by visiting: www.ec.europa.eu/itgirls.

Motorola to receive Point Inspiration AwardAt its annual gala in Los Angeles on 26 September, the Point Foundation will honor Motorola for its outstanding contributions to the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) community with the Point Inspiration Award. The award recognizes corporations that champion respect and inclusion of the GLBT community, and operates with the vision that the success achieved by talented young people is limited only by the resources and opportunities they are given to help them fulfill their potential.

“Motorola’s commitment to the GLBT community, as well as their unfailing support of Point Foundation’s leadership conferences and events, continues to inspire and motivate other corporations and individuals to invest in the future through the education

of our young people,” said Jorge Valencia, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of Point Foundation. “We’re excited to recognize their achievements on behalf of the community.”

“Motorola is honored to be recognized by the Point Foundation in its receipt of the Point Inspiration Award,” said Greg Lee, senior vice president of Human Resources. “We are proud of our continued involvement with the Point Foundation and support its mission through our commitment to fostering diversity, encouraging talent, and building a culture that thrives on inclusion and respect.”

We contributed Mobile Devices products for a silent auction and advertised the MotoNav, Motorola’s GPS system, in the event program. The event raised a record $197,000 to help Chicago area youth from low-income families find employment.

Founded in 1979, JFY has helped more than 13,000 Chicago area

Around the world, the Women’s Business Council continues to create programming that helps to enhance the leadership skills of its members and build a pipeline of Motorolans ready for the next challenge. This quarter, we highlight two types of

programs – mentoring and small-group “Get to Know” sessions – that are inspirational, engaging and cost-effective. They also can be implemented anywhere. Learn more about these sessions at: wbc.mot.com.

Women’s Business Council (WBC)

Clone these ideas!

All Motorola senior leaders are encouraged to “share the wealth” and mentor at least one person. Many Motorolans take the initiative and request informal mentoring from a leader who can provide insight into how to grow a skill or achieve a goal. Recently, the Schaumburg, Ill. WBC took the lead in mentoring by launching a formal pilot program based on a successful approach used in Motorola business units.

The mentoring leadership team created an online survey to develop a knowledge base of interested individuals. Mentees and mentors

were matched based on skill sets and goals. They participated in training sessions that provided tools to get the most out of their time together. We are thrilled that 46 pairs are participating in this mentoring process. Thus far, the feedback has indicated that the teams were making progress on their goals as both mentees and mentors gained value from the relationships.

Congratulations to the mentoring leadership team: Terry Koncel, Theresa Marchese, Kelly Miller and Varsha Shah.

Get to know Motorola women leadersMany WBC sites around the world have instituted “Get to Know” or “Let’s Chat” sessions that bring senior Motorola women together with a small group of Motorolans for an informal discussion. This deceptively simple format creates multiple benefits for all participants.

First, the small-group setting allows for a real dialogue with a senior leader who provides insight for participants into how the leader thinks about business, career advancement, decision-making and

any other topics that emerge. Second, all the participants get to network with one another and often leave with a new connection to someone they want to know. Third, the senior leader gets to hear what is on the minds of up to 20 people outside her normal circle of contacts.

Debora Courtright, vice president, Government and Public Safety, Enterprise Mobility Solutions, said, “I don’t think the participants realized that I was having as much fun as they
