RECOGNIZING AND DEVELOPING WOMEN AT JABIL

When it comes to attracting top talent at Jabil, our manufacturing facilities in Switzerland have developed a world-class apprenticeship program that supports over 120 students annually in a variety of educational studies. The students learn skills for a future career at Jabil, or in the manufacturing industry, to ensure Switzerland has the talent necessary to compete in the 21st century global economy

On the outskirts of our manufacturing facility in Wuxi, China, a small plot of land has become a symbol of hope for local organizations and community members in need. Hope Farm provides an opportunity for the site to give back to the community through multiple touchpoints; including an empowering relationship with the Zhi Kang Yuan Care Center for children with autism who experience firsthand learning about and caring for the crops.

At Jabil, diversity is not only accepted but celebrated. When new members join our team, we work together in a way that empowers them to be their best selves, while encouraging them to help make a difference in our communities. In 2021, more than 100 Jabil employees volunteered their time supporting activities organized by Special Olympics Florida, taking a front-row seat to champion inclusivity.

We pride ourselves in being a purpose-driven organization by empowering our employees to get involved with local charitable organizations to create volunteer opportunities for others to give back and drive positive change. In the spirit of caring, we recently began a Jabil journey to give back one million volunteer service hours in calendar year 2022.

As part of our DEI commitment, we facilitate disability education and awareness to increase employment and development opportunities for people with disabilities at Jabil. In May 2020, the Jabil Dominican Republic team partnered with leading disability inclusion resource Disability:IN to provide best practices for interview techniques, inclusion and assimilation of people with disabilities into the workplace.

We understand good mental health is vital for a fulfilling life, at work and at home, and that it is a fundamental element of the resilience that enables people to cope with adversity and reach their full potential. In early 2021, we rolled out Mental Health Resilience Building trainings for leaders across the organization with the goal of having 90% of leadership trained by FY26.

While Jabil has always placed a significant focus on putting procedures and safeguards in place to help ensure the safety of our operations and our people, we’ve escalated our attention to other factors that contribute to employee well-being. This includes our focus on mental health; ensuring all employees feel welcomed, valued and respected; and providing opportunities and programs across all our sites for employees to focus on their health.

As a global company, COVID-19 has impacted every part of Jabil. Through it all, our main priority has been keeping our employees healthy. We also helped our customers accelerate the time-to-market for COVID-19 tests and rapidly ramped production of desperately needed medical devices like pulse oximeters and respirators.
