engaged are no longer effective . In turn , leaders are struggling with how to answer the call for flexibility without hindering productivity . They must find viable ways to create , share , save , and protect information among a dispersed workforce . And while determining how to handle once-printed material is one difficulty , the issues reach far beyond that into other workflows .
It ’ s hard to do digital transformation right . Some 70 % of digital transformations fall short of their objectives ,
according to Boston Consulting Group , for reasons as disparate as company culture not embracing change or poor data collection methods .
One solution , which HP champions , converges around the concept of “ human-centered transformation ,” an approach that keeps workers at the forefront . It ’ s about what workers need , today , to do their jobs efficiently and effectively . In the workplace , this means being cognizant of the end user ’ s behavior , desires , and personal experiences . So , instead of expecting workers to adapt to legacy tools and technologies — which can be ineffective and frustrating for many , especially in our changing work world — tools and technologies must meet their needs , in real time .
Embracing human-centered transformation is especially important as worker roles are more fluid than ever , and HP is uniquely poised to capitalize on this as it undergoes its own shift to digital processes and workflows .
Creating worker-centric solutions HP is thinking of itself as more than a manufacturer of discrete products such as computers , printers , webcams , and other peripherals . We aim to provide a holistic , intuitive suite of products and services that are flexible , scalable , and anticipate customers ’ needs . The company is layering valuable insights into products and services through advanced technologies such as AI ,
HUMAN RIGHTS STRATEGY
Tu Rinsche
Human Rights Lead
Creating Better Policies And Operations
How companies and their employees can respect , advance , and advocate for human rights .
H
UMAN RIGHTS ABUSES may seem like a distant problem to those of us working comfortably behind a computer . But unfortunately , they ’ re ubiquitous . This is the message of HP ’ s new Human Rights Lead , Tu Rinsche , who challenges companies , employees , and customers to rethink what they know about human rights , including how much power they have to help .
HP ’ s ambitious
2030 Sustainable Impact goals are what inspired Rinsche to make the leap back into the corporate world and the technology sector .
“ When I saw that HP ’ s aspiration is to be the most just and sustainable technology company in the world , I said , ‘ I want to work for HP .’”
As a volunteer with the Peace Corps in Mauritania , Rinsche worked for the US Department of State , joining one of the first government offices focused on corporate social responsibility in the Human Rights Bureau . Additionally , Rinsche led human rights policies and programs at Disney and Marriott , where she spearheaded an employee awareness initiative that reached 500,000 people within two years .
At HP , she chairs HP ’ s Human Rights Council and coordinates the company ’ s human rights efforts relating to corporate policy and due diligence , mandatory disclosures on how HP is combating modern slavery , regulatory tracking , and global advocacy and strategic initiatives .
Rinsche oversees a team that partners closely with other teams leading human rights work , including human resources and DEI , supply chain responsibility , and privacy .

Human Rights Day on December 10 , Innovation sat down with Rinsche to discuss her efforts at HP and how anyone can make a difference in improving the quality of others ’ lives .
1 / What led you to a career in human rights ? Recently , I ’ ve become more comfortable sharing that I came to the United States as a refugee from Vietnam . I didn ’ t get to where I am today without the help of countless people and organizations that believed in the human rights of all people to seek safety and a new home . If I can give back in some small way through my life ’ s work and leverage the collective power of the industry by working with companies and organizations that believe in this mission , then I know I ’ m on the right path .
