Social Management: Diversity Management
Throughout GM, our Diversity Initiative is the process of creating
and maintaining an environment that naturally enables our employees,
dealers, suppliers and communities to achieve their fullest potential.
We believe that diversity is the collective mixture of similarities
and differences. This recognizes that managing diversity includes
race and gender as well as the broader aspects of age, education
level, family status, language, military status, physical abilities,
religion, sexual orientation, union representation, and years of
service.
We believe that workforce diversity adds to competitive advantage.
As a global employer, we understand that working with a diverse
group of individuals with differing backgrounds and perspectives,
creates and maintains competitive advantage and assists in achieving
global success. Through our Diversity Initiatives we seek to create
an environment that optimizes the contributions of our diverse work
force, our suppliers, customers, and the communities where we work.
We recognize that it is essential that our work force structure
reflects both the marketplace and our customers. More...

Social Performance: Health & Safety Performance
Following the introduction of a major world-wide health and safety
initiative early in 1995 our health and safety performance has improved
markedly across the three areas of recordable injuries, lost work
day cases and occupational fatalities.
Between 1995 and 2000 the recordable injury rate per 100 employees
for our global operations dropped by 71% and for the same period,
lost work day cases per 100 employees fell by 83%. Between 1990
and 1994, there were 22 occupational fatalities; for the period
1995 to 2000 there were 12, a reduction of 45% between the two periods.
