Our Global Representation
Our people are the foundation of all we do and creating an environment where all employees can and want to do their best work is fundamental to our success. We continue to have increased gains in representation of our global gender and U.S. race and ethnicity employee demographics.

- Optimizing internal and external talent pools and pipelines by attracting, developing and retaining diverse talent
- Enhancing our ability to inform and influence our industry, engage diverse customers, suppliers and partners, and support the communities in which we live and work
Creating an Environment for Inclusive Language
We condemn discrimination of any kind and embed our Diversity, Equity & Culture of Inclusion work into everything we do. As an inclusive company, we do not tolerate language that is biased, offends, or implies violence.
In the summer of 2020, we launched an Inclusive Terminology Initiative, with the goal of providing unified guidance for identifying, replacing, and avoiding offensive and racially biased language in our products and content. We’re actively working with our partners to ensure that the replacement terms selected are understood and adopted by our employees, customers and others in the industry going forward.
Building Belonging Through Connection
Our 14 Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) provide a global network of multicultural, multi-generational employees who are committed to support the company’s values and business goals along with the needs of its membership. Our groups have 61 chapters in more than 20 countries and engage more than 6,000 Rockwell employees.
