As such, IBM has taken an active role in working with women entrepreneurs and their respective associations worldwide. In an environment that recognizes different opinions, insights, talents and dreams, people can find opportunity. In an environment that promotes balance between personal and professional responsibilities, people can gain support and understanding. To know our markets and serve them well requires that we understand them. And understanding comes from employing people who represent those markets.
Diversity is our source of innovation, opportunity and competitive advantage.
It is our key to continuing success. Toward that end, IBM has introduced practices and policies that encourage workforce diversity and equal opportunity.
