Diversity and Inclusion

Posted: January 4, 2008

AOL is committed to making diversity and inclusion a sustainable reality at all levels of the company. What AOL means by diversity and inclusioin can best be summed by these six words: Honor Similarities...Respect Differences...Celebrate Diversity.

AOL's commitment to diversity and inclusion has clear business benefits:

  • As a global Web company, AOL's products and services must appeal to the wide range of interests, passions, and needs. Providing those requires having a diverse and inclusive workforce that embraces differences as a competitive strength.
  • AOL seeks to attract the most talented workers, wherever they can be found, and top talent increasingly demands that companies show their commitment to diversity and inclusion.
  • Creating an energetic, dynamic, and creative workplace where good ideas flourish means leveraging the vitality that comes when we embrace people from different races, backgrounds, ages, orientations, and abilities.

The company expects employees, managers, and executives to live up to its standards of diversity and inclusion in their interactions with others, in their hiring and contracting decisions, and in their business plans. Through training and accountability programs, employee involvement, communications, and other tools, AOL is embedding this commitment to diversity and inclusion into the fabric of the company.

Our Employees

Our employees are a very important part of making diversity and inclusion a key underpinning to the AOL culture. As such, we encourage the formation of affinity groups by employees who share similar backgrounds or interest in issues such as race, age, gender, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation or abilities. The groups can be loosely formed as Employee Interest Groups (EIGs) or more formally chartered networks called Business Resource Groups (BRGs). The BRGs are sponsored by the Office of Diversity and Inclusion.  Both types of groups provide opportunities for networking and professional and personal growth, and, also promote AOL’s overall diversity and inclusion goals.

Current EIGs and BRGs include:
