Workforce Diversity
Our people fuel 3M innovation. When our teams come together, we innovate and solve unique needs and challenges.
We implement thoughtful talent practices that attract, develop and empower our global workforce with diverse backgrounds and perspectives to benefit the communities and customers we serve.
In 2024, our workforce changed significantly due to the spinoff of our health care business. As we assess and realign our aspirations for our workforce, we remain committed to offering a workplace where everyone feels welcomed, included and valued.
We support our employees seeking to advance diversity and inclusion on an individual basis by offering voluntary REAL (Reflect, Empathize, Act, Learn) Allyship training and education. 3Mers from around the world, at all levels and functions, may choose to engage in large learning workshops and thoughtful small group discussions. Together and independently through self-reflection and online micro-learning, participants may explore the many different aspects and skills needed to advance diversity and inclusion in today’s work environment.
