Commitment to Diversity

Diversity By the Numbers

Dell’s diversity programs give us access to the broadest pool of employees, which the company needs to meet the demands of its growing customer base. Today we have good representation of diverse leaders in our ranks. We recognize, of course, that this is always unfinished business. We actively recruit diverse talent and offer diverse employees tools to promote advancement, such as our Career Management Program, which includes executive networking and coaching.

Dell's workforce is made up of approximately 83,000 employees who live and work in 6 continents and deliver products and services to more than 190 countries.

At Dell, women and people of color represent:
  • More than half (52 percent) of our U.S. workforce, including GLBT
  • More than one-third of our U.S. managers (41 percent)
  • 32 percent of our U.S.-based vice presidents
  • 33 percent of our global workforce are women
