Celebrating AAPI Heritage Month at New Relic

New Relic celebrates Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month by acknowledging the historical contributions of these communities, which are commemorated in May due to significant events like the arrival of the first Japanese immigrants and the completion of the transcontinental railroad. The company has established an Asian and Pacific Islander affinity group as part of its Relics of Color Employee Resource Group, hosting cultural activities such as food gatherings and origami workshops to foster connection and understanding. New Relic emphasizes its commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), aiming to create an inclusive workplace where employees feel valued and supported, which aligns with their mission of using data-driven decisions in software development. The blog highlights contributions from New Relic's DEI leaders, who advocate for inclusive practices and aim to inspire future generations in tech.
