Leadership  Last year, Kodak reaffirmed its commitment to diversity by naming May Snowden as the company’s first Chief Diversity Officer. She will guide and direct Kodak’s progress towards its diversity goals with the aims of fully engaging the talents of all employees and maximizing the support we enjoy from the external communities we serve.

"At Kodak," Ms. Snowden says, "our commitment to diversity means shaping our culture so that all stakeholders contribute fully to our success as a global leader in imaging. I believe that holding ourselves accountable for higher diversity standards will lead to a healthier business, and to healthier communities as well."

Kodak is Committed to Diversity as a Workforce Strategy  At Kodak, we know that our prime source of sustainable competitive advantage is our people and the effectiveness of their work together. Diverse opinions and fresh ideas create the most competitive solutions. To aggressively recruit people of color (POC) and women, we have partnered with colleges and universities that historically graduate these students, and attend local, regional and national conferences and career fairs.

Voice of Employees  When our employees were asked about their workplace, a full seventy-two percent agreed that their supervisors demonstrate respect for the styles, personalities, and viewpoints of others. More than half of all employees agree that Kodak is creating an inclusive environment that values diversity.

Officers  Measurement is the hallmark of Kodak’s commitment to integration of diversity and inclusion into our day-to-day operation. Each officer is held accountable for his or her results through the Leadership and Diversity metric of the Management Performance Commitment Process (MPCP) that is tied to a portion of compensation. This measures progress in workforce diversity and culture transformation. Senior managers regularly measure progress as part of ongoing operational reviews.
