Commitment to diversity, inclusion and nondiscrimination

close up of traffic signal walk light.
Since its founding, Hewlett-Packard has demonstrated an ongoing commitment to people and to fair employment practices. As HP has grown and expanded throughout the world, its work force has become more diverse. HP believes that this diverse work force helps the company realize its full potential. Recognizing and developing the talents of each individual brings new ideas to HP. The company benefits from the creativity and innovation that results when HP people who have different experiences, perspectives and cultures work together. This is what drives invention and high performance at HP. We believe a well managed, diverse work force expands HP’s base of knowledge, skills and cross-cultural understanding, which in turn, enables us to understand, relate and respond to our diverse and changing customers throughout the world, connecting them to the power of technology. Our overall commitment is reflected in our diversity and inclusion philosophy.

HP's Diversity and inclusion philosophy

  • A diverse, high-achieving workforce is the sustainable competitive advantage that differentiates HP. It is essential to win in the marketplaces, workplaces and communities around the world.
  • An inclusive, flexible work environment that values differences motivates employees to contribute their best.
  • To better serve our customers, we must attract, develop, promote and retain a diverse workforce.
  • Trust, mutual respect and dignity are fundamental beliefs that are reflected in our behavior and actions.
  • Accountability for diversity and inclusion goals drives our success.

Compliance, equal opportunity and affirmative action

HP's policies and supporting practices are built upon this philosophy, as well as a set of values that include a strong belief that all employees should be treated with dignity and respect. In accordance with this, HP does not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, creed, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, national origin, disability, age, or covered veteran status. It is also HP's policy to comply with all applicable national and local laws pertaining to nondiscrimination and equal opportunity.
