Kaiser Permanente—Achieving Our Mission and Growing the Business Through the National Diversity Agenda

Kaiser Permanente's initiative, Achieving Our Mission and Growing the Business Through the National Diversity Agenda, makes diversity and inclusion central to the organization's competitive advantage and its ability to deliver culturally competent health care to its 8.6 million members. The initiative demonstrates that an investment in diversity and inclusion can yield continual improvement for women and men. In 2007, women held 47 percent of regional president and senior vice president positions, and racially/ethnically diverse women held 12 percent of these positions. By 2009, these numbers had increased to 50 percent and 18 percent, respectively. Between 2001 and 2009, the percentage of women board directors increased from 21 percent to 36 percent, and racially/ethnically diverse women on the board increased from 7 percent to 24 percent.
