Corporate Citizenship Report 2010

The Agilent Leadership Audit is a short, focused survey that allows Agilent employees to provide feedback on leadership effectiveness within their workgroup. In 2010 the focus of the Leadership Audit was "Speed to Opportunity" which highlights how responsive we are as an organization at meeting the needs of our customers. The items in the survey reflect high-impact, speed-to- opportunity behaviors Agilent expects of managers at all levels, and are divided into the key components of speed to opportunity: customer orientation, speed and decisiveness, risk taking and employee engagement. Results of the Leadership Audit survey are compared to external best-in-class benchmarks to ensure we are performing at the top in our industry. In 2010, Agilent Leadership Audit Survey scores, on average, met the external best-in-class targets. In addition, employee participation in this voluntary process was 85 percent, an all-time high and an unusually high level of engagement for employee surveys according to our external research.
