How diverse is the workforce ?
With more than 35,000 employees in 130 countries, we have long understood the value of a diverse and inclusive workforce in creating a culture where “new,” “better,” and “different are popular. In fact, inclusion is one of the metrics we use to measure our year-to-year success. And it’s been a core value for some time. For example, in 1942, our CEO, Walter Wheeler, boycotted a hotel when it refused to register one of our African American sales people. In 1950, the National Urban League recognized Pitney Bowes for its leadership in providing job opportunities to African Americans. Most recently, Black Enterprise Magazine listed Pitney Bowes as one of the “40 Best Companies for Diversity”. We have undertaken innovative initiatives for women in leadership, people who are early in their careers, and strive to be an employer of choice for older workers. We have not been timid in this area.
