Diversity

HP's diversity policies require that every employee is treated and treats others with dignity, respect and courtesy. The company does not under any circumstances tolerate discrimination or harassment based on such factors as race, age, sex, national origin, disability or sexual orientation. HP encourages employees to report suspected discrimination or harassment by using the Open Door Policy, and contacting Employee Relations locally or by using the company's confidential and anonymous GuideLine, as applicable with local law. HP complies with all applicable national and local laws, and operates to our own global policies wherever they are stronger.
