A virtual sales advisor is always the first to joke with her coworkers about her medical conditions. It’s something that helps her share her story with others.
Diversity and Inclusion
Best Buy was named a 2023 “Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion” with a score of 100 by the Disability Equality Index (DEI). It’s the ninth year in a row we’ve made the list.
We are proud to be recognized for our ongoing commitment to workplace equality.
Black History Month is a time to reflect on the significant contributions and achievements Black Americans have made — and continue to make — to our country, our communities and our company.
At Best Buy, we know that diversity matters year-round. That’s why we aim to build teams that reflect our communities across all parts of our business, including our stores, distribution centers and the corporate office.
This month, we’re highlighting three dynamic Black leaders who are helping drive Best Buy forward.
She is determined to help other young women enter the tech space.
The program partners with nonprofits and organizations focused on youth and tech.
To celebrate Women’s History Month, we’re focusing on the future of women in STEM. Currently, only 28% of STEM professionals in the U.S. are women and at Best Buy, we think that’s just not good enough.
“We need to empower more girls to go into STEM fields, or we’re not utilizing half of the brain power in the world,” CEO Corie Barry said. “That also means that what gets studied and what gets made will be determined by only half of the population.

Nearly 1,500 people are converging on the Twin Cities this week for the second-annual Blacks in Technology conference, BITCON, and two Best Buy employees are featured guests.
“BITCON is a great place to generate new concepts and collaborate with members from across the state,” said Nadvia Davis, specialist on Best Buy’s social impact team and first-time BITCON panelist. “It’s important to show the representation of black women in the technology field. For me, it’s impactful work, and I get to give back to our communities.”
Best Buy has joined with more than 140 business leaders and trade associations in signing a “friend of the court” brief with the U.S. Supreme Court to show our continued support for “Dreamers.” That’s the nickname for the approximately 800,000 undocumented young adults who are allowed to live and work in the United States under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
The brief emphasizes that Dreamers are employees, business owners and neighbors who make a significant positive impact on American companies, communities and the economy.
Here are a few of the many people contributing to the success of our company and culture.
We want all our employees to feel welcome in the workplace.
