Encouraging and Empowering Our People To Influence the Climate and Culture Inside Qualcomm
Our people are committed to inventing solutions to complex problems and making the world a better place. At Qualcomm, we believe that building connections between our employees, their families and our communities create an even more meaningful, fulfilling, fun and productive workplace. Through our engagement programs, our people can pursue their interests and hobbies, connect to volunteering and giving opportunities, enjoy unique recreational experiences with family members and communicate directly with our senior leadership. Our engagement programs support our employees’ lives inside and outside work and empower them to influence the morale, culture and practices of our Company.
Connecting our people to our communities
Giving back to the communities where we live, work and do business is central to our culture. We engage our people in supporting and enriching our communities through volunteering, matching grants, community and board service grants, and other giving and community outreach efforts.
Our employees have big hearts, are passionate about many causes and embrace opportunities to make a difference.
Our employee-directed local giving committees help determine how our Company’s philanthropic funds are distributed in their local communities. Our giving committees are in more than 25 locations globally and have donated to more than 70 local organizations worldwide. Our employees also engage in Company-sponsored volunteer activities. In 2019, nearly 3,000 Qualcomm employees around the world utilized our charitable match program, benefiting more than 1,500 organizations.
Cultivating employee Ambassadors to represent our Company in local communities
The Qualcomm Ambassador Program provides opportunities for employees to demonstrate their pride in working at Qualcomm by participating more deeply in onsite engagement events and by representing our Company in local communities. Ambassadors represent Qualcomm in a variety of ways, such as serving on panels, giving presentations at local schools and supporting STEM events on Qualcomm’s campus and in their home communities. We started this program in 2017 in San Diego. The program currently has 600 employee Ambassadors and is expanding to other Qualcomm offices in the United States and Canada.
