Inclusion & Diversity

Who you are shapes who we are.

Vision and Strategy


Our commitment to inclusion and diversity (I&D) makes Cisco a better company, a better global competitor, and a better corporate citizen. By fully embracing the human network in all its multiplicity, we foster innovation and talent in the workplace and engage more effectively with our customers and partners in the worldwide marketplace.

Cisco is executing on our commitment to I&D by:

  • Sponsoring I&D initiatives and providing visibility at the executive level
  • Forming the global Inclusion and Diversity Council in 2007
  • Building diversity into the recruiting and hiring process
  • Providing mandatory manager and employee training in diversity and actively promoting a culture of inclusion
  • Implementing tools and processes to develop I&D awareness, manage a diverse and often virtual workforce, and promote behavior change
  • Providing supplemental development opportunities to diverse populations

Upcoming Events

"When we talk about diversity at Cisco, it isn’t just about equal opportunity, or bringing in the best talent from a global diverse marketplace. At Cisco it’s about inclusion and how we develop and optimize the contributions of our workforce who bring diverse life experiences, cultures, talents, and perspectives to the business. Our inclusive culture promotes a creative, innovative, and collaborative environment that helps drive our globalisation strategy."

John Chambers
Chairman and CEO,
