Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
Our Global Vision
We respect the different cultures and beliefs of our team members, customers, and the communities we serve. Our journey is ongoing and our commitment unwavering as we nurture an inclusive workplace where each person is valued, empowered to do their best work, and inspired to move freely and pursue their dreams.
CULTURE OF INCLUSION
Ford is committed to supporting and sustaining a respectful and inclusive workplace. As we move forward, our intention is to harness the power of our talented team to help fuel our transformation and further empower Ford to better serve the diverse customers and communities where we live and work. As the company transforms, so have our plans to advance global DEI. We are focused on the long-term cross-functional work required to put the resources and systems in place to equitably support each employee’s career journey, and to grow and sustain an inclusive, global workplace.
Building a Diverse and Inclusive Workplace
At Ford, we are committed to supporting and sustaining a respectful and inclusive workplace for all employees. We believe this empowers every person to do their best work and ultimately achieve the Ford+ plan. We actively recruit and hire the best talent and are proud that our workforce is made up of people with different backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences so we can deliver the best products and services for our customers around the world.
Ford offers 10 global Employee Resource Groups (“ERGs”) that represent various dimensions of our employee population, including, race, ethnicity, gender, religion, LGBTQ+, disability, veterans, and generation with chapters throughout the world. All ERGs are open to all employees and are instrumental in providing a voice to our global workforce, while also providing valuable insights into the employee experience and product and service development.
We work to strengthen collaboration across the organization by embedding inclusion in the leadership behaviors that support the Ford operating system. We also leverage the benefit of diversity by listening to the voices of our employees and stakeholders, which strengthen our workplace, systems, and offerings and ultimately drive value for the business.
