How to make diversity happen.

Xerox Internal Use Only

Start at the bottom with people. • See how diverse corporate cultures are more ready for change,

more natural and more innovative.

• Think beyond hiring. Encourage creativity and inclusion

throughout your company.

Start at the top

with policies. Hire high-achieving, highly

educated diverse individuals.

“From the first affinity groups to the first African American female CEO to lead a Fortune 500 company, diversity, inclusion and social responsibility are corporate values we’ve lived for over five decades at Xerox.” —Kevin Warren

People are what make a company inclusive.

Xerox LGBT employees and

straight allies formed GALAXe to

help achieve full inclusion,

participation and engagement—

now with more than 500 members.

As for gender inclusion, an

impressive 25 percent of Xerox

executives are women and 39

percent of management positions

are staffed by women.

We score 100 percent on the

Human Rights Campaign’s

Corporate Equality Index, and are

listed as “Best Places to Work for

LGBT Equality.”

Courts and corporate policy lay

the groundwork for diversity but

people make it happen.

Long before the U.S. Supreme Court ruling on marriage equality, Xerox extended equal benefits to married employees and same-sex domestic partners in the U.S., regardless of sexual orientation, race or gender.

“Joe Wilson wrote his corporate values on a piece of paper and carried them in his wallet. His sixth tenet, ‘we behave responsibly as a corporate citizen’ is one of the reasons I joined Xerox 30 years ago.”

– Kevin Warren, president of Xerox Commercial Business Group On Savoy Magazine’s list of “Top 100 Most Influential Blacks in Corporate America”

Wilson Rule

Page 11: Diversity: Good for people. Great for business

You can’t start any more at the top. • The Wilson Rule calls for gender and racially diverse hiring in the

U.S. and around the world.

• Xerox has instituted the “Wilson Rule,” named after the modern-day Xerox founder Joseph Wilson.

• Even in 1947, Wilson committed Xerox to a policy of diversity.

• Just as important, it is a testament to a company’s need to strengthen and broaden its commitment to diversity over time.

Diversity = Innovation

Of 321 large global enterprises, 85 percent agreed

or strongly agreed that diversity is crucial to fostering

innovation in the workplace. —Forbes Insights 2011

Use diversity to achieve your goals.

Rule by hierarchy

of imagination: fill your ranks with people of

all ages, gender, races and

backgrounds.

Think broadly: cast a wider net to attract,

retain and develop the best

and the brightest talent.

Fuel innovation: build a diverse environment

that is more creative,

collaborative, dynamic

and open to new ideas.

Foster a productive

work environment: provide the resources and

flexibility employees need to

learn and succeed.

Page 14: Diversity: Good for people. Great for business

“Through that diversity

of backgrounds and

perspectives, we gain

the benefit of different

ways of looking at our

business—leading to

innovative breakthroughs

for our customers and

more engaging work

for our people.”

—Ursula Burns, Chairman and CEO

of Xerox Corporation
