Spotlight on Michigan:
A Diverse and Inclusive Workforce From the Start
In 2018 KLA began to build its second headquarters in Ann Arbor Michigan. A priority objective was to make it the most diverse and inclusive office right from the beginning, and we are achieving that goal. As we continue to build out the new teams, there is already 50% women in site leadership roles (director and above), and 29% representation of women overall at the Ann Arbor site. (Data as of July 1, 2020)

Building A Culture of Inclusion
We Are Optimists
The diversity of KLA’s employees and culture unifies our sense of optimism that drives innovation and helps us to solve complex technical challenges. Our employees share how optimism energizes their work.

Diversity Snapshot
In 2018 we formalized our diversity & inclusion initiative. An important part of the strategy is to share our workforce diversity data. Publishing our diversity data demonstrates our commitment to D&I by providing more transparency to all stakeholders and is a way to share our progress. We are working hard to attract, retain and celebrate the industry’s most talented people at all levels, leveraging technology to promote inclusive hiring, and attracting candidates from diverse pipelines. Likewise, we are dedicated to investing in our existing talent to increase representation in leadership across the company.
