Overview
Inclusion and diversity are strategic imperatives at State Street. As a global company, what we value most about our more than 29,000 employees are the qualities that make them unique — their experiences, interests and capabilities. Global Inclusion is our company-wide effort to ensure that every one of our employees feels engaged and valued by recognizing and utilizing their unique talents.
Below are just a few of the key programs and activities we offer as part of our Global Inclusion initiative:
Employee networks are created when employees come together around a common goal, seek to increase their visibility across the company and recognize that State Street could benefit from their unique perspectives. Open to all employees, these networks create volunteer, career development and cultural opportunities that align with members’ unique goals and interests and currently include:

Through our annual Employee Engagement Survey, we measure levels of employee commitment and engagement across our organization and ensure that our Inclusion programs are designed to support any needs identified through the survey.
We launched a “Voices of Inclusion” program in the third quarter of 2009 to help foster inclusion across the company. The program provides a forum for members of State Street’s senior executives to hear directly from groups of employees in informal settings.
