About this report

A new HP In 2015, Hewlett-Packard Company separated into two businesses, HP Inc. (HP) and Hew- lett Packard Enterprise, completing the process on November 1. To manage this change with minimum disruption, a dedicated Separation Management Office oversaw logistics and communication, enabling employees to focus on their roles moving forward. Employ- ees worldwide were continually updated on the separation timeline, and senior leaders joined regular dialogue and consultation with staff. HP retained nearly 50,000 employees worldwide and is committed to helping each of them thrive moving forward. Hewlett-Packard Company conducted monthly employee polls during the year to moni- tor efforts to make the transition as smooth as possible. Globally, 87% of employees sur- veyed felt the separation was conducted well and that the company maintained a clear focus on customer satisfaction. Eight of 10 managers were rated by their teams as doing a good job helping employees understand and be ready for all aspects of the separation. Voluntary attrition rates were stable year over year, including for top talent. Diversity and inclusion Our commitment to diversity and inclusion is deep and our approach is broad, en- compassing our employees, suppliers, partners, and communities. By celebrating our differences, we bring unique experiences and perspectives to bear on HP’s capabilities and expertise. This helps us design and deliver products and services that work for everyone, everywhere. The technology industry has room for considerable improvement in this area. For our part, HP is committed to tackling this issue from the boardroom to our offices worldwide. No one company alone can solve the underrepresentation of diversity in our industry. Collaboration is essential in this mission to gain insights, feedback, and support to drive us all forward. HP has long been one of the most transparent technology companies and a recognized leader in diversity and inclusion within our industry. Strong policies guide our actions, and we continue to innovate new ways to increase diversity, foster inclusion, and align to business outcomes. HP’s commitment to diversity begins at the highest level, with our Board of Directors. Our new board includes five female and six minority members—the most diverse board among U.S. technology companies. 2 HP President and Chief Executive Officer Dion Weisler is committed to building on this leadership position and making our company—and industry—increasingly diverse.
