The document discusses diversity and inclusion at NVIDIA. It notes that the company's board is not very diverse, with 8 of 11 members being white men. It recommends creating leadership programs for underrepresented ethnic groups to increase diversity. The executive team is more diverse, with 40% women and 60% men. However, only 18.6% of overall employees are female. It suggests partnerships with educational organizations to recruit more women and underrepresented minorities. The document also recommends improvements to support disabled employees and parents, such as ensuring accessibility, training opportunities, and an onsite daycare.

diversity at this level as 8 of the men and both women are white. (The only non-white board member is Jensen Huang who is an Asian male as well as the founder and CEO of NVIDIA.) To change this, I would recommend that the company create a leadership program for specific ethnic backgrounds. This would give current employees better opportunities to climb the ranks and possibly make it to the executive level as well as provide more diversity at that higher level.
There are also 26 executive officers, specifically,
about 40% are female and 60% are male. This statistic shows that the company are focused on diversity in the executive level as there’s promotional opportunities for women as well as men. NEXT SLIDE The company should also create a diversity and inclusion committee as it would be greatly beneficial in addressing any fairness or diversity issues in the current workforce. According to the 2018 sustainability report Nvidia published, 18.6% of employees were female.
In order to increase the female employment rate,
the company should reach out to educational institutions and sponsor clubs or programs that cater to females like Girls Who Code and SJSU’s Society of Women Engineers. About 91% of Nvidia’s workforce comprises of Asian and White employees while the other 9% are comprised with hispanic, black and other ethnic minorities. Nvidia could partner with STEM organizations like the National Action Council for Minorities in Engineering as a way to promote their company to hispanic, black and other ethnic minority individuals. They could hold educational seminars about what Nvidia does as a company and provide information about their internship program and the type of employees they generally look for. When it comes to disability there’s little to no information regarding the accessibility or assistance disabled employees would receive. My recommendation would be to create employer-sponsored training opportunities so people with disabilities can participate and learn more. In addition, make sure all buildings, workplaces and parking areas are easily accessible for those with handicaps.
Nvidia already provides pregnant employees with
front row parking and the same should be done to disabled employees who have a hard time getting around. (AccessSTEM is an organization that helps students succeed in science, tech, engineering and medicine. Employers come in to promote their companies, answer any questions, talk internships, etc.) 92% of new hires are aged between 20 to 50 and nowadays, the common age range for people to have children is from the late 20s to mid-30s. Instead of spending lots of money on childcare services, NVIDIA could provide an onsite daycare.
This would give parents more ease of mind as they
might not like being away from their children especially at such young ages. Parents could drop by the daycare at any time just to check on their children and then go back to work knowing they’re in good hands. This would reduce any stress the parents might feel and possibly increase work productivity.
Overall, NVIDIA is a standout company when it
comes to employee treatment and they offer extremely competitive salaries with great benefits.
