Actual Case Study

Global biopharmaceutical company Pfizer believes that a diverse workforce leads to more innovative and creative thinking. (127) The Company also feels that inclusion is the foundation to the ownership culture that it wants to build among its employees. (128) Pfizer recognized that better attracting and retaining diverse employees would require it to pay more attention to its diversity and inclusion initiatives. In addition to relying on its worldwide diversity and inclusion leadership council comprised of senior executives from around the company, Pfizer also created employee resource groups, including people with disabilities, Latino/Hispanics, African American, and LGBT employees, to better apply their ideas to influence company results.
