Develop & Sponsor. Developing and sponsoring are critical to our journey. In 2020 our CEO will be leading a Leadership Development Review dedicated to diversity, and our senior leaders are expected to actively sponsor and mentor diverse employees who will be identified through this process.
We are proud to say that our efforts to build a diverse workforce are yielding results. Since 2015, we have successfully increased our percentage of global women executives and U.S. people of color executives and professionals.
Drive Inclusion. Key to inclusion is to listen and learn, and to focus on education and training of leaders and employees across the organization. Through Employee Resource Groups, fireside chats, listening sessions and unconscious bias
