We are committed to developing and supporting the career paths of all women, both inside and outside of the company. That's why we have invested in programs like Black Girls Code and The Girl Scouts, instituted our Take 2 career re-entry program and support inclusive public policy action through our participation in the Business Coalition for the Equality Act and the Coalition for the American Dream.
We’re proud to have been recognized as the #1 company for Gender Equality by Equileap who identified as the only leading U.S. company in the S&P 100 Index with no gender pay gap. In addition, we offer nearly a dozen different employee resource groups, including the GM WOMEN’s council (employee resource group) which provides women with professional development, creates leadership opportunities and impacts how GM connects with female consumers.
The future of how we work at General Motors is not one-size-fits-all. Our "Work Appropriately" approach provides leaders and employees the flexibility to determine how they can create the greatest impact toward achieving their goals. Depending on the requirements of the job, some groups will innovate to find the right hybrid solutions while others will be empowered to bring newfound flexibility to in-person work.
