Equality in the workforce

Nike strives to provide a diverse and inclusive workforce. Due to their increasingly broad consumer base, Nike has aimed to attract and engage a workforce that reflects this diversity.

Nike has implemented a Diversity and Inclusion team within their Human Resources function. In the 14/15 fiscal year, the percentage of Nike employees who identify as non-white in the U.S. rose above 50%. Their global diversity and inclusion team sponsors Nike's eight employee networks: Ability Network, Asia Pacific Network, Black Employee Network, Latino and Friends network, LGBTQ & Friends Network, NIKE Military Veterans and Friends, Native American Network, and the Women of NIKE. These networks serve to increase cultural awareness, deliver career development experiences and demonstrate Nike's commitment to diversity and inclusion in the communities where we live and work.
