Global Inclusion: Inspiring Success at State Street

At State Street, our success begins with our people. As one of the world’s leading providers of financial services to institutional investors, State Street believes that the diversity of our workforce is critical for succeeding in the 27 countries and more than 100 geographic markets in which we operate.

Our company-wide Global Inclusion program is a testament to that commitment.
Launched five years ago, the program aims to ensure that each one of our 27,000 employees feels valued and engaged — regardless of gender, race or any other factor. We strive to provide employees with many opportunities to do their best work in an inclusive and supportive environment, which is vital for increasing productivity, lowering turnover, raising employee morale and improving overall business results.

At the core of Global Inclusion are State Street’s employee networks — employee-run organizations that provide networking, mentoring, professional development, community service and social opportunities. Increasing flexibility in the workplace is also a key part of our inclusion and work/life balance efforts, which now includes the creation of a new Flexible Work Program Office.

As a company with a 200-year history that started right here in Boston, State Street is very proud of our longstanding commitment to developing a diverse workforce. Attracting well-rounded individuals with a wide range of unique skills, interests and experiences is key to our reputation as being an employer of choice.

“The most successful and enduring companies are the ones that create an environment where both business and people can thrive and grow." —Ron Logue, State Street Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

State Street is presenting sponsor of the 2009 Massachusetts Conference for Women.
