At Dell Technologies, the company believes deeply that diversity is power. Their goal is to build a future workforce that champions racial equity, values different backgrounds and celebrates unique perspectives. Their unwavering commitment and dedication to diversity and inclusion is their way of addressing societal challenges – and in the process, they are unlocking new, previously untapped innovation.
Dell Technologies believes they are leaving too much potential talent on the table while the workplace is amidst a talent shortage not seen in decades. Closing the diversity gap is not only critical in meeting future talent needs, but it also brings a fresh set of new perspectives that are truly reflective of Dell’s growing global customer base. Dell sees diversity and inclusion as a business imperative that will enable them to build and empower their future workforce, while also doing their part to address societal challenges.
Dell’s Social Impact Plan for 2030 is built on a host of actionable goals
Dell Technologies is committed to a series of moonshot goals and other goals that will propel the company's social impact worldwide. The ambitious goals are the lynchpin of the company's 2030 Progress Made Real plan and are grounded in the belief that technology and data combined with human spirit are, and will always be, positive forces in the world. For diversity and inclusion, their goals are real, and they are meaningful.
For instance:
Moonshot Goal - by 2030, 50 percent of their global workforce and 40 percent of their global people leaders will be people who identify as women.
Additional Goals by 2030 -
