Diversity
Building a world that works for everyone.
H. LAWRENCE CULP, JR.
"At GE, we are committed to building a more diverse workforce and a more inclusive workplace by focusing on transparency, accountability, and community."
GE's 2020 Workforce Representation Data
GE is a truly global company: Sixty-eight percent of our employees are based outside of the United States and our workforce represents nationalities from more than 170 countries.
The data shared is representative of GE’s workforce as of December 31, 2020* and covers two dimensions of diversity: global gender and U.S. race and ethnic minority. We see this as the beginning of a journey to improve the depth and breadth of our diversity data. In the future this might include self-identified data types such as sexual orientation, disability, and military service.
