At PNNL, diversity in all forms is critical to the vitality of our organization. We depend on the innovation and creativity of our staff because it takes world-class and diverse talent to deliver world-class science and technology that can transform the world.
We want PNNL to be a reflection of the diverse world around us. While we are proud of the progress we have made, like many organizations, we realize that there is always room for improvement as well. In this spirit, we continue to take deliberate and purposeful steps to incorporate diversity and inclusion into our current and future workforce planning. We strive to attract, hire, and retain more diverse talent into our workforce, and we are making a conscious effort to monitor the outcomes, evaluate our successes, and refine our approach.
