As part of our goal to be an "employer of choice," we strive to create an inclusive, performance-driven culture where employees thrive and grow. A critical component of such an environment is diversity. We continue to make progress in leadership role modeling, fostering an inclusive work climate, and implementing mentoring and outreach strategies. We also conduct leader diversity assessments, develop educational programs, and encourage diversity business networks to ensure employees have access to the best possible support and development tools.
Annual Goals
Each business and function establishes annual diversity goals in two critical areas. The first is placement against opportunities. This requires us to determine the availability of women and minorities to fill management, professional and sales positions at Weyerhaeuser. We use that information to set placement targets where we have gaps in these areas. Then we monitor whether we're filling open positions at the target rates we've set or higher. The second area is work force representation. We measure progress made toward increasing representation of women and minorities in the same three categories.
In 2007, our goals were to make placements against opportunity at or higher than the targets we set, and to maintain or improve our overall work force representation. Our placement-against-opportunity rate was 101.2 percent, and our work force representation improvement was 3.6 percent.
