2012 Workforce Diversity
Accelerating Walmart s commitment to diversity and inclusion Walmart s commitment to diversity and inclusion is deeply rooted in more than five decades of our rich history and culture. We strive to be a great place to work for all people. By embracing and leveraging the power of diversity in our associates and fostering an inclusive workplace, we maximize our talents, strengthen our customer relevance, and deliver innovative solutions to business challenges. We believe in open communication about our diversity aspirations, and understand diversity represents more than numbers and data. For us, diversity and inclusion is about engaging the unique strengths of each and every associate of the Walmart community. Walmart first publicly released our comprehensive EEO-1 data in 2005 as a way to measure the progress we are making in a transparent way. Highlights of this year s report include: Approximately 57 percent of our U.S. workforce is comprised of women, compared to 48.3 percent in the retail industry and 46.9 percent in the U.S. labor force (source: Catalyst Pyramid: Women in U.S. Retail Trade.

New York: Catalyst, 2013). Nearly 42 percent of our Walmart U.S. first- and mid-level officials/managers are women. People of Color associates increased by 25,660, reflecting a 5 percent increase. With our strong leadership commitment and company-wide programmatic efforts, we made the following progress last year: 38 percent of our executive vice president promotions were women. 34 percent of officer promotions were women; 22 percent were people of color. 27 percent of our corporate officers were women; 20 percent were people of color. 54 percent of hourly associates promoted in our stores and clubs were women. 77 percent of our store and club operations management started as hourly associates.

2012 Walmart (U.S.) EEO-1 data A measure of the representation of Walmart's diverse workforce is attained through the federal government's Employer Information EEO-1 report. The EEO-1 report is a document that provides statistics to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) on the numbers of women and minorities employed in a company's workforce. The EEO-1 report provides a snapshot of the employer's workforce by sex, race/ ethnicity and job category. The EEO-1 report is generated by a survey conducted each year under the authority of Public Law 88-352, Section 709, and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended by the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972. Private employers or enterprises with 100 or more employees (excluding primary and secondary school systems and institutions of higher education) are required to submit EEO-1 surveys annually. Employment figures from any pay period from July through September may be used, and the survey must be filed with the EEOC no later than September 30 annually. The EEO-1 report accounts for all associates who were employed during the selected pay period. Following the EEOC guidelines, the information is reported by sex and specific race/ethnicity for the following job categories (as defined in the Employer Information Report EEO-1 Instruction Booklet): Executive/Senior Level : Individuals who plan, direct and formulate policies, set strategy and provide the overall direction of enterprises/ organizations for the development and delivery of products or services, within the parameters approved by boards of directors or other governing bodies. Residing in the highest levels of organizations, these executives plan, direct or coordinate activities with the support of subordinate executives and staff managers. First/Mid Level : Individuals who serve as managers, other than those who serve as Executive/ Senior Level, including those who oversee and direct the delivery of products, services or functions at group, regional or divisional levels of organizations. These managers receive directions from the Executive/Senior Level management and typically lead major business units. They implement policies, programs and directives of executive/senior management 5
through subordinate managers and within the parameters set by Executive/Senior Level management. Professionals: Occupations requiring either college graduation or experience of such kind and amount as to provide a comparable background. Technicians: Occupations requiring a combination of basic scientific knowledge and manual skill which can be obtained through two years of post high school education, such as is offered in many technical institutes and junior colleges, or through on the job training. Sales Workers: Occupations engaged wholly or primarily in direct selling. Administrative Support Workers: Administrative support occupations, including all clerical-type work regardless of level of difficulty, where the activities are predominately non-manual through some manual work not directly involved with altering or transporting the products is included. Craft Workers (skilled): Manual workers of relatively high level (precision production and repair) having a thorough and comprehensive knowledge of the process involved in their work. Exercise considerable independent judgement and usually receive an extensive period of training. Excluding learners and helpers of craft workers. Operatives (semi-skilled): Workers who operate transportation or materials moving equipment, or who operate machine or processing equipment, or who perform other factory-type duties of intermediate skill level which can be mastered in a few weeks and require only limited training Includes apprentices in such fields as auto mechanics, plumbing, bricklaying, carpentry, building trades, metalworking trades, and printing trades. Laborers and Helpers (unskilled): Handlers, equipment cleaners, helpers and other workers in manual occupations which generally require no special training and who perform elementary duties that may be learned in a few days and require the application of little or no independent judgment. Farm workers (laborers) are placed here, as well as farming, forestry and fishing occupations not elsewhere covered. Service Workers: Workers in both protective and nonprotective service occupations.

The charts compare Walmart s workforce to the composite of nationwide EEO-1 figures currently available. Although these are not exact comparisons (because Walmart s business is like no other in the world), they do give a picture of how Walmart s commitment to workforce diversity is being shown company-wide. 6 walmartstores.com/diversity
