EMC states on its website that diversity and inclusion is essential to its ability to compete in the global war for talent and, in particular, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) talent. The company states: “At EMC, we view diversity and inclusion as a business imperative. We strive to cultivate an inclusive culture that is reflective of the diverse perspectives, backgrounds and cultures of the communities in which we live and conduct business. This not only leads to more creative ideas and fuels our innovative spirit, but also helps develop, retain and energize the talent that drives our company forward. Our efforts are focused around three strategic pillars: Talent Optimization, being a Global Employer of Choice, and Business Excellence.”
The company, which recently started its first Global Executive Diversity Council, notes that it has experienced a “significant increase in the number of customers that requested information on our diversity and inclusion journey and its impact on the company’s success.”
EMC has named diversity and inclusion as one of its top globally strategic company goals for the next three years.
