Equality and diversity
Our approach
We are committed to growing diversity, belonging and inclusion (DB&I) in our workforce to help embrace different viewpoints and experiences, foster innovation, challenge the status quo when needed, and drive business performance. To achieve our aspirations, we need a strong culture that reaches across all aspects of our business. That’s why we have set a goal that 70 percent of employees participate in AMD Employee Resource Groups and/or other AMD inclusion initiatives by 2025.2
Additionally, we are committed to increasing the percentage of global female hires in engineering roles and the percentage of under-represented group hires within our U.S. workforce year over year. For 2021, we have made these efforts a component of our company’s strategic metrics and milestones to inform our incentive plan.
At AMD Research, our efforts to build a culture of inclusion expand beyond the company walls. AMD Research members actively participate in a wide range of external-facing activities aimed at enhancing diversity and inclusion throughout the broader research community. These activities include supporting early-year graduate students, fostering the careers of women and under-represented minorities, and promoting a welcoming and inclusive experience at the conferences we attend.
