IBM's Diversity & Inclusion Report 2020
In 2020, the convergence of racial injustice and the global pandemic amplified the stark need for swift and greater progress from society and businesses.
COVID-19 disrupted all of our lives, though not in equal measure. Working women were challenged by the pandemic, causing millions to leave the workforce. On top of that, we witnessed social injustices that sparked a global movement, bringing conversations about inequality to the forefront. All of this has brought IBM to accelerate its journey of diversity and inclusion, channeling what 2020 taught us all into outcome-oriented, rigorous actions focused on four strategic areas:
Advocacy that drives systemic change which creates an opportunity for diverse communities.
Allyship where we provide the training and support to help every IBMer be an upstander through inclusive behaviors.
Employee experiences that champion all diverse communities of IBMers and support every employee to thrive and bring their authentic selves to work.
Accountability that harnesses data transparency and AI to enable action and deliver outcomes for increased diversity representation and inclusion at every level of the company.
The Diversity & Inclusion Report 2020 outlines key actions in these areas and tells the stories of IBMers that illustrate how life-changing diversity and inclusion in action can be.
