A Discussion with Anna Schlegel, Global VP with Procore on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

by Elle Bremmer, Managing Editor, Le monde de l’électricité en ligne


Diversity, equity, and inclusion. These three buzzwords are flying all over our industry right now. I sat down with Procore’s VP of Global, Anna Schlegel, who offered up her unique perspective on what DEI efforts mean to her, to the industry, and how Procore is working hard as a construction industry leader to implement best practices to support these efforts, and tackle other challenges, such as the labour shortage. Plus, what the term means for independent contractors in the industry. She also touches on new developments at Procore, as well as offering her insight and expertise in the industry.

A native of Catalonia, Spain, but based out of California, Schlegel has a truly global and holistic worldview. She is an internationally acclaimed author of the book “Truly Global,” co-founded the non-profit Women in Localization, and has been recognized as the Most Impactful Woman in Technology in December 2020 by Analytics Insight, among many other awards and acclaims. She has worked in global engineering and localization for the past thirty years and is coming up on her second year working with Procore.

Schlegel is proud to work at Procore, and touts company culture as one of the great benefits of being on their team. Citing one of her colleagues as an example, she says, “employees can take time off to give back to their communities. We have an internal channel where you see people posting about their own interests and passions. I have a guy on my team that gave himself a goal of raising $1 million for charity. […] So, there is a lot of employee activity that is very celebrated.”

Also celebrating Procore’s DEI efforts she says, “we [also] have a very strong diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging department that we call DEIBs.” Schlegel explained that DEIB encompasses ‘diversity’ which is accepting and respecting everything that makes us unique, including both seen and unseen characteristics; ‘equity,’ which is eliminating structural barriers and creating fair treatment, access, opportunity and advancement; ‘inclusion’ entails creating space to contribute, participate and amplify everyone’s voices – being respected, supported and valued for who you are; and finally, ’belonging’ means building a community of trust, where all voices are heard and we feel safe bringing our authentic selves to work.
