The Postal Service recognizes the value of a diverse workforce. We maintain an environment that recognizes and values the richness of people’s viewpoints, experiences, cultures and backgrounds. The Postal Service continues to identify new and innovative ways to attract, engage and retain high-performing diverse talent to drive organizational performance. We offer online training to expand employee knowledge of diversity and help managers develop their skills to interact with multiple workforce generations.
The efforts of the Postal Service were recognized in the summer issue of Hispanic Network Magazine which named USPS as among the “Best of the Best” for hiring Hispanics and for its focus on minority-owned suppliers. Companies are selected as “Best of the Best” based on analysis and scoring of their policies, hiring practices, and other activities that support equal access, advancement and inclusion of all individuals regardless of race, color, creed, religion, national origin, age, marital status, etc.
In FY2013, minorities comprised 40.28 percent of the workforce; women comprised 44.61 percent. Among Postal employees, 21.89 percent are Black or African-American; 9.10 percent are Hispanic or Latino; 7.78 percent are Asian; 0.7 percent are American Indian or Alaska Native; and 0.26 percent are Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islanders. The percent of employees who identified themselves as two or more races was 0.54.
