"Agilent's values underscore everything we do. Our goal is to create an environment of teamwork, trust and respect for those with whom we work and do business." Jean Halloran, Senior Vice President, Human Resources

Best place to work
We want to make Agilent a "best place to work" for our employees so that they are motivated to create innovative solutions for our customers.

2003 was very difficult for our company. Economic conditions led us to continue with our workforce reduction program. Throughout this process, we have sought to treat those people leaving the company with respect, while strengthening the support mechanisms for those who remain.

We continue to introduce initiatives that improve the environment in which our employees work - and their ability to undertake that work. Despite the difficult economic conditions, we have continued to win "best place to work" awards from organizations across the globe.

Respect
Respect for the individual means valuing the many ways in which people are different and then creating an inclusive environment in which they can prosper. Diversity and inclusion are crucial to Agilent's future - not just because they are the right way to live and work, but because different perspectives enrich and strengthen Agilent's approach in responding to the realities of a global marketplace. The best way to ensure an innovative future is to encourage diversity and inclusion. We call our effort to achieve this Diversity Made Real.
