McAfee Inclusion & Diversity

Our commitment

Protecting all that matters demands constant innovation. Doing our job well requires building a workplace that embraces individuality, encourages different perspectives, and welcomes a range of experiences to boost real innovation, creativity, and strategic problem-solving. But it’s not just the right thing to do for business—it’s about every person’s innate right to be their true self and belong.

Our approach

Our efforts to ensure an inclusive workplace fall in three areas: our ability to connect with top diverse talent, our desire to build a workplace where all employees can thrive, and our commitment to ignite change within our industry and community. Below are some examples of how we achieve our goals.

McAfee communities

Our employee-run Communities foster our culture of belonging. All groups are open to everyone and supported by senior leaders. Currently, five employee-formed communities operate.

The McAfee African Heritage Community plays a critical role in empowering members by promoting employee growth and development, hosting a regular lunch-and-learn series, supporting recruitment efforts, and driving cultural awareness activities.

HOLA

The McAfee HOLA Community supports career advancement of its members, promotes cultural celebrations like Hispanic Heritage Month, and provides insight into the professional development needs of our HOLA employees.

Pride

Focused on creating a welcoming culture, the McAfee Pride Community supports LGBTQ+ members and allies through employee development, inclusive speaker panels, Pride Month events, and strategies for hiring and retaining LGBTQ+ employees.

Veterans

Through the McAfee Veterans Community, we create an inclusive environment for military veterans, family members, and supporters, help attract and retain the best military talent, and raise awareness on observances like Military Appreciation Month, Veterans Day, and Remembrance Day.

Women in Security

As McAfee’s largest community, the McAfee Women in Security (WISE) Community provides career empowerment through mentorship programs and both personal and professional development events as well as leads the charge during International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month.
