FedEx makes progress with diversity initiatives in workforce

FedEx’s commitment to hiring a diverse workforce and promoting from within has continued accelerating the company to be a minority-majority employee company, with about 55% having identified as being a member of a minority group in 2021. “For as long as I can remember, we’ve had a robust leadership training program to bring people up with our philosophy of promoting from within,” said FedEx Chief Sustainability Officer Mitch Jackson, adding, “You see the proof is in the pudding with those numbers.”
