Diversity
One of our company's core values is to have a workforce that is a diverse and involved team. We value the skills, strengths and perspectives of our diverse team. We strive to foster a participatory workplace that enables people to get involved in making decisions about their work that advance our common business objectives. That's more than mere corporate-speak. We know that diversity gives us a competitive advantage. Boeing is a company with nearly 200,000 people, operations in 26 states, and customers in more than 145 countries. Still, we must do more than assume that diversity will simply come to us because of our size and global reach. To the contrary, Boeing spends a great deal of time, money and effort to become more diverse at all levels of our organization. We want to get the most from our diversity. We want people to think and act differently -- with greater speed, agility, and creativity. Those attributes are required in an increasingly complex and demanding global business environment. So when we say there is truly strength in diversity, we mean it.
One example of many in the area of diversity is our commitment to the employment of qualified people with disabilities. For some people, in some circumstances, a physical or mental barrier due to a disability may impact a person's ability to perform the job functions in the usual fashion. Boeing reviews such situations individually and coordinates accommodation arrangements and education programs that work to eliminate barriers and best access people's skills and abilities in the Boeing workforce.
We must understand that our view of the world is but one of many . . . that others see things in other ways. Diversity is about us -- each and every one of us. The point is not that there are differences. The point is whether we can learn from those differences. The point is not that there are varying viewpoints, but whether we can recognize and respond to those varying viewpoints.
The true test of diversity within an organization . . . or across a whole society . . . is whether people build upon their differences ... or whether they are divided by them. Part of the greatness of our country is contained in the motto stamped on our coinage, -- "E Pluribus Unum" -- out of many, one.
