NXP is on a journey to advance and sustain a collaborative and engaging
environment globally where everyone is equipped to innovate and contribute
to making the connected world better, safer and more secure. We are
thereby making NXP the technology company where the most talented people
choose to work.
Putting Our DE&I Goals Into Practice
Promoting a truly inclusive environment is a journey. When we think about
inclusion at NXP, it’s about accepting everyone and welcoming different
ideas and perspectives. It’s about having a genuine feeling that it’s not
only okay to speak up — it’s expected.
We want every team member around the world to feel like NXP is the place
where they want to be and where they feel they belong. Where they can
collaborate with colleagues locally and globally, push the boundaries of
technology and grow careers. Trust and respect are not only the foundation
of our company values; they are essential for an inclusive environment.
It’s about the behaviors we demonstrate, the processes we put in place and
the environment we cultivate.
Setting Goals, Ensuring Accountability
As a leading global technology company, NXP has an established diversity,
equality and inclusion (DE&I) policy along with aspirational
representation goals at all levels.
Embedding inclusion across the company enables our team members to
embrace this diversity.
We encourage the voices of our team members in our diversity efforts
through our Employee Resource Groups and by developing action plans based
on feedback from our company-wide engagement survey, among other methods.
Additionally, we engage the top leadership across our businesses to ensure
accountability for our progress.
Being Intentional About Inclusion
At NXP, we embrace inclusive practices and policies to embed inclusion
deeper within our company. For instance, through our practice of Inclusion
Insights, we begin formal team meetings with brief conversations about an
inclusion topic or with someone sharing a relevant experience. Since
implementing the initiative, team members have shared that these
discussions have had a positive influence on their
lives in and outside of the workplace.
We encourage team members to be more self-aware when it comes to their
personal bias and preferences, proactively assert themselves when it comes
to opportunities and be open to different people and ways of thinking.
True inclusion requires demonstrated, intentionally inclusive practices
and embracing everyone as they are, uniquely.
Every team member within NXP has a direct impact on the work environment,
but that’s especially true for managers. Therefore, we’re diving deeper
into managing from the framework of our core values, which are built on a
foundation of trust and respect through our NXP Manager Intensive (NMI) and
unconscious bias training programs across the company.
Prioritizing Women and Minorities at NXP
While we focus on the development of all our team members, we pay special
attention to the development of women and minorities who are
underrepresented in our industry. We partner with professional associations
like the Global Semiconductor Alliance (GSA), National Society of Black
Engineers (NSBE), Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE), and
the Society of Women Engineers (SWE). We also focus on inspiring younger
women and minorities by promoting awareness of the unique benefits of a
STEM education and career.
In 2023, NXP was recognized as one of three finalists for GSA’s Women’s
Leadership Initiative (WLI), Designing the Difference Award. This award
recognizes companies making a significant and measurable impact on
advancing the industry through diversity and inclusion.
