Leading the way
Our leaders celebrate the strong connection and value that diversity brings to our goals and new opportunities.
Inclusion at work
Ford invites employees and partners to bring our whole selves — all our passion, inspiration, integrity, and uniqueness — into the office. Our diversity makes us a stronger, more innovative team – by bringing in fresh ideas, perspectives, experiences and life responsibilities, and by fostering a truly collaborative workplace.
Ford’s Proud History of Inclusion
Throughout the history of Ford Motor Company, inclusion has been as much a part of the company's success as the great products our diverse employee base has created.
When we say that Ford is a leader in diversity, this isn't just our opinion. We have received numerous awards in recent years from publications and organizations recognizing the value the company places on building a diverse and inclusive culture.

Zero Tolerance Policy
Ford’s commitment to a respectful and inclusive workforce is also evident in our Zero Tolerance Policy. This policy reinforces Ford’s commitment to a safe, respectful, harassment-free work environment for all of our employees, at all locations. Simply put, harassment of any kind is not tolerated in the workplace. We begin with the belief that trust in our brand, and in each other, comes from acting with integrity and transparency. We foster safe, inclusive work environments that create freedom to be our whole selves and do our best work.
Gender Inclusion
Women are significantly underrepresented in the tech industry which is why we have partnered with different organizations such as MARC (Men Advocating Real Change). MARC is an immersive program focused on engaging men in the inclusion conversation, in order to raise awareness and increase women advocacy.
We recognize the need to support women by offering best-in-class benefits like flexible working, extended paternity leave, and career coaching. Ford has made some significant changes to key policies while expanding some programs and continuing to focus on growing internal networks. In addition, our CEO has an Employee Engagement Framework that includes a focus on high potential women.
