About this report

Engagement survey : Our employees know our business best and we listen to them. In 2016, we will launch a global Voice, Insight, Action survey, for employees to provide their perspectives and opinions about working at HP. The findings and comparisons to ex- ternal global benchmarks will help us understand where we’re doing well and the most important areas to improve. Volunteerism To strengthen and enrich the communities where we live and work, HP taps into the tal- ents, passions, and entrepreneurial spirit of our employees. Volunteerism 3 is deeply rooted in our culture. Every employee is entitled to four hours of paid volunteer time per month. Our employees give back to their communities in many different ways. They donate their time and talents, contribute cash, join team service projects, and serve on nonprofit boards and committees. These efforts support areas that align with our sustainability priorities and business strategy, including the environment, education, entrepreneur- ship, and health. In 2015, more than 38,200Hewlett-Packard Company employees contributed 1.2 million hours of volunteer time in 72 countries. With initiatives such as our Global Day of Service suspended due to the company’s separation, volunteer participation in 2015 decreased compared to 2014. Of the total number of volunteer hours, about 279,400 hours were attributable to more than 10,200 employees now retained by HP Inc. Giving back to our communities brings clear employee and business benefits. Moving forward, volunteerism will remain a cornerstone of HP’s employee engagement and community outreach activities. Acting globally with Stop Hunger Now In 2015, Hewlett-Packard Company partnered with the U.S.-based nonprofit Stop Hunger Now, which packages and ships nutritious meals to children and families in need in Afri- ca, Asia, Europe, and North America. Over the year, more than 6,800 employees globally packed 2.46 million meals, a 48% increase in participation compared to 2014. Volunteering our skills HP’s global workforce contains a wealth of professional skills and expertise. We en- courage employees to use their talents to support nonprofit organizations and social entrepreneurs in their communities. Internal surveys suggest that employees find skills-based volunteering more rewarding than general volunteer activities. Of the 1.2 million Hewlett-Packard Company volunteer hours in 2015, 26% were skills-based. For employees now retained by HP Inc., 28% of volunteer hours in 2015 were skills-based. In 2016, all HP employees can apply for a full week of paid time off, in addition to their four paid hours per month, to dedicate skills-based time to a charitable organization. With the new Time Off Community Support Grant Program employees will serve a non- profit of their choice and share their experiences through blogs, interviews, and photos. Building a culture of volunteerism We will look to our ERGs to strengthen and expand our volunteering efforts moving forward. Many of these groups are well connected to their communities and support nonprofit organizations that align with HP’s sustainability strategy and approach.
