55 intel.com/responsibility 2021-22 Corporate Responsibility Report Inclusion for Everyone We recognize and respect the worth and dignity of every employee and want everyone to contribute at their full potential. We promote and sustain a sense of belonging for everyone, but have identified areas where we need to do better. First, we recognized that some of our diversity and inclusion efforts have been more US focused, even though Intel is a global company. We have adjusted by ensuring that global goals are a significant part of our 2030 RISE strategy and by integrating all regions even more in our processes. We identified our factory workers as another group we could better engage. We are launching a program to increase engagement with our factory workers and provide alternative ways of engagement for all. We also recognized that some communities have felt excluded from our diversity and inclusion efforts. Our efforts have been focused on equity of opportunity and changes in culture that should benefit everyone. We have taken steps to make it more explicit that we want to include everyone in our efforts. In 2021, a group of men and women from Intel business groups around the globe organized Intel’s International Men’s Day to celebrate men’s positive contributions to society, promote positive male role models, and focus on men’s health and well-being. The event included partnerships with several Intel ERGs, as well as external organizations such as Movember and the Better Man Conference. The celebration attracted more than 1,000 attendees, and included 24 speakers from nine countries. Hiring, Retention, and Progression We have developed a set of programs and initiatives to support inclusive hiring, retention, and progression practices. Diversity and inclusion start from the moment we identify candidates and try to fill roles with the best available talent. Inclusive hiring practices include, in part, ensuring that we have a pool of diverse candidates. We have invested in programs that enable us to reach underrepresented candidates and give them equal opportunities to compete for jobs. Through the Intel Scholars Program, we engage with internal business units, Intel leaders, and 15 external partners to support underrepresented students pursuing degrees in STEM fields. The program includes financial scholarships, exposure to Intel jobs, mentors, networking, research insights, and training opportunities. We supported 354 scholars in 2021 through our scholarship programs. In 2016, we launched our confidential retention Warmline service, and in 2021 extended real-time Warmline support and guidance at scale for our global workforce. The Warmline provides employees with guidance through challenges in areas such as career progression, belonging/integration, job skills alignment, and employee-manager connection. In addition to supporting employees before they consider leaving Intel, the Warmline provides a robust data set to help us identify patterns, locate problem areas, and address issues proactively and systemically. Some 83% of employees who used the Warmline service in 2021 have stayed at Intel and 99% would recommend it to others. In 2021, we also, launched the Executive Warmline to better serve executives with internal transition and navigational support. Of the executives who used the Executive Warmline since its launch, 69% have stayed at Intel. We have also been piloting new programs to support retention and promotion. The first pilot, for senior-level women across the globe, aims to increase promotion and development opportunities and improve job satisfaction and retention through leadership and sponsor/protégé matching. In 2021, 95 women participated in the pilot, and we aim to scale it further in 2022. A second pilot, Talent Keepers, aims to engage mid- level Black and African American employees in the US and Costa Rica more directly with their managers in career development and progression discussions and initiatives. A total of 124 pairs of employees and managers completed the program in 2021, and we expect to add 300 more participants in 2022.
