Corporate Citizenship Report

TI worldwide diversity statement

Our effectiveness at recognizing and developing the talents of people of different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives is key to our competitive edge.

Valuing diversity in our workforce is at the core of our TI values.
We expect the highest levels of performance and integrity from ourselves and each other. We work to create an environment where people are valued as individuals and team members, and treated with respect, dignity and fairness. We strive to create opportunities for TIers to develop and reach our full potential, and to achieve our professional and personal goals.

It takes every TIer to create an environment that promotes inclusiveness.
An inclusive environment recognizes the requirements of the business, respects the individual and values the contributions of people of different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives. Each of us must work toward the establishment of an inclusive environment throughout TI.

We can do this by recruiting, developing, retaining and promoting qualified people of different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives. TIers at all levels must have the opportunity to participate in TI's businesses to the extent of their ability. To maintain this inclusive culture, our processes for recruitment, development, retention and promotion must be appropriate for a diverse work force.

A diverse work force in one country may be very different from a diverse work force in another. All regions and businesses are accountable for understanding their unique needs and developing appropriate strategies to create an inclusive work environment. In addition, each of us must continually communicate our desire for a diverse work force and show by our actions that we truly value diversity.

TIers with a passion for winning, who demonstrate individual achievement, team contribution and the desire to learn, will have the best opportunity for success in this environment.
