Diversity
Diversity at Lenovo is much broader than race and gender.
It is about honoring the multiple cultures that comprise
the fabric of this company and leveraging its national and
regional differences so that Lenovo can better understand
its customers and address their needs. It’s about a diversity
of talents working together to create something that has
not been thought of before or never existed.
Our diversity at Lenovo is unique and it is our competitive
advantage. Now, the company recognizes that the
uniqueness brings a level of complexity that can be very
challenging at times; however, it presents all of us an
opportunity learn and grow.
Having a diverse workforce enables the company to
compete more effectively and successfully in the market
place. Customers like to do business with companies
whose makeup reflect their own and the wider marketplace.
One of Lenovo’s strengths is having a workforce composed
of people from various cultures that allows us to capitalize
on diverse perspectives in the development, manufacturing,
marketing and sale of our products.
