Diversity and Inclusion

Best Buy Health employee Roy Davis credits his military service with shaping him into the person he is today.

He enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1984 right after high school and said his eight-year service taught him responsibility, how to take pride in his work and dedication to something greater than himself.

“In school, I didn’t apply myself,” Roy said. “But something changed when I was in the military. I developed leadership skills and learned how to push myself to be my best.”

Allyship and connection are part of Best Buy’s DNA. For our colleagues who belong to the LGBTQIA+ community, these values are especially important and have a tremendous impact on their experience at work.

People and spaces, like our Pride Employee Resource Group, that offer allyship and connection can provide hope and help employees feel like they belong at Best Buy. EZ and Morgan are two employees who’ve inspired hope in their colleagues and contributed to Best Buy’s culture of inclusion by sharing their experiences and supporting others to live as their authentic selves.

Two Best Buy teams recently volunteered with nonprofit Junior Achievement to help the next generation learn about personal finances and business.  

Junior Achievement is dedicated to giving young people the knowledge and skills they need to own their economic success, plan for their futures and make smart academic and economic choices. There are more than 100 local JA Areas across the United States.  

The internal audit team from the finance department spent half a day in South Saint Paul, Minnesota, with Junior Achievement North helping middle schoolers create mock budgets through JA Finance Park, an experiential learning program.

Regardless of the job title, good leadership often comes down to building strong relationships and being an advocate for others.

Cheng Yang, Vidhya Subramanian and Scott Nishimura are three of our leaders who demonstrate this every day. Get to know them and discover how they lean on their cultural and personal experiences to support others at and outside of Best Buy.
