Oracle’s Focus on Diversity and Inclusion Draws Top Talent and Drives Innovation

Oracle Corporation (ORCL), a global leader in software and cloud solutions, has made significant strides in fostering a diverse and inclusive workforce. By embracing diversity and inclusion (D&I) principles, Oracle has attracted a broad range of talent with unique perspectives, which has helped spur innovation and better serve its customers’ needs. The company’s commitment to D&I not only contributes to a positive company culture but also enhances employee experiences and aids in the development of its industry-leading products and solutions.

With a rapidly changing tech environment, Oracle has understood the importance of having a wide range of talent from diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and abilities. Oracle, which had approximately 164,000 employees worldwide at the end of its 2023 fiscal year, believes that diversity among its workforce is crucial for solving complex problems faced by its customers. The company’s commitment to D&I is reflected throughout the organization, starting at the highest level. Oracle’s Chief Executive Officer, Safra Catz, is a woman, and 40% of the company’s Board of Directors are women or come from diverse backgrounds.

Oracle’s D&I Imperatives

Oracle focuses on five key D&I Imperatives to drive its diversity and inclusion efforts, which include driving insight and accountability with data, recruiting with an intention on diversity, embedding inclusion into talent development, inspiring an inclusive culture through community, and investing in the future diversity of the industry. Oracle leaders, including CEO Safra Catz, support these initiatives through strategic sponsorship from the company’s Executive Diversity Council.

Recognition for Oracle’s Commitment to D&I

The company’s commitment to D&I has not gone unnoticed. Oracle has received several recognitions for its progress in the area, such as being named one of the World’s Top Female-Friendly Companies and one of America’s Best Employers For Women by Forbes in 2022 and receiving a Best Place to Work designation by the Disability Equality Index for the fifth consecutive year in 2022. Furthermore, the Human Rights Campaign recognized Oracle as a 2022 Best Place to Work for LGBTQ+ Equality, and Career Communications Group named the company a 2023 Top Supporter of Historically Black College and University Engineering Schools.

Employee Experience and Learning Opportunities

Oracle’s dedication to creating a great employee experience, anchored by meaningful work, career opportunities, and personal well-being, helps the company attract and retain top talent. Employees at Oracle have access to learning and development resources that allow them to explore, build, and achieve their career goals. During fiscal 2023, Oracle employees received more than three million hours of training, which the company believes is essential for retaining its workforce and maintaining its innovative edge.

Oracle also actively listens to employee feedback and remains committed to addressing that feedback to create a positive employee, customer, and business experience. In fiscal 2023, 81% of the company’s employees participated in its annual engagement survey, with leaders evaluating the feedback and prioritizing actions to ensure the company’s ongoing success.

Social Impact Initiatives

In addition to its focus on diversity and employee well-being, Oracle has steadfastly committed itself to making a positive social impact through initiatives focused on education, the environment, and community. The company contributes tens of millions of dollars annually to protecting the natural world and wildlife, advancing education, and strengthening communities. Oracle Academy and the Oracle Education Foundation, the company’s philanthropic education initiatives, help students develop the skills they need to become technology innovators and leaders.

Conclusion

Oracle’s focus on diversity and inclusion, employee experiences, and social impact initiatives has not only contributed to its success as a business but has also created a thriving company culture. By prioritizing these areas, Oracle has been able to inspire its workforce and harness its diverse talent to foster innovation, better serve its customers, and maintain a competitive edge in the ever-evolving tech industry.
