At HARMAN, diversity is a reality for us. We are committed to making every employee feel welcomed, valued and empowered. Our workforce reflects the diversity of the world in which we operate. People from every walk of life and with every perspective choose to work with us.

We believe that diversity spurs innovative thinking. Our globally diverse culture embraces and supports the uniqueness of everyone. We strive for this support to foster a deep sense of belonging that allows our employees to contribute in a meaningful way, freeing them to do their best work, and that’s when true innovation happens.

With our focus on making sure the right people are in the right roles, we have built and are supporting a culture where employees feel like they can bring their best selves to work.

CLOSING THE GAP

Unfortunately, women are underrepresented at every level in the tech industry. At HARMAN, we are dedicated to changing this. We make it a point to hire talented and skilled women whenever possible. More importantly, we make sure every woman that works with us has access to opportunities that drive their careers forward. When it comes to supporting more women in technology, our former CEO Dinesh C. Paliwal said it best, “Enough with the trying; it’s time for doing.”

GLOBAL DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION COUNCIL

We have brought together a wide-ranging group of people to be part of our Global Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Council. This group’s goal is to establish and drive the standards that support and promote diversity, equity, openness, understanding and inclusiveness across the company. The team also focuses on increasing representation and ensuring equitable career opportunities and development for all underrepresented groups at HARMAN.

BEING AN ALLY

Diversity isn’t something we just talk about at HARMAN. We know that bringing underrepresented voices to the table makes every business better. So, from the top down, this is an issue that is personal for us. That’s why being inclusive means being an ally at HARMAN. We understand that every one of our employees is an advocate for one another. That’s how a true culture of acceptance, opportunity and collective growth can come to life.

OUR DIVERSITY RESOURCES

At HARMAN, our culture is built around our people. To keep our employees inspired we have created several community resources where they are able to learn, network and engage with one another on a professional and personal level. We strive to promote an open and inclusive workplace where employees can be their true authentic selves.
