We actively recruit people from diverse backgrounds to build a supportive and inclusive workplace. We take steps to ensure employees have a sense of belonging, value and opportunity.\n\nWe have 13 affinity groups (employee resource groups) with more than 87,000 employees across hundreds of chapters around the world. We actively recruit diverse candidates through our partnerships with historically Black colleges and universities, Hispanic-serving institutions and women’s colleges and we have over 40,000 veterans and military spouses working at Amazon.\n\n![Two women, standing inside an Amazon fulfilment centre, wear orange safety vests and masks while looking at the camera.](https://assets.aboutamazon.com/dims4/default/629c139/2147483647/strip/true/crop/2700x1800+0+0/resize/300x200!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.aboutamazon.com%2F49%2Fa3%2F936f045d44af98479689dcd2d2cb%2Funp-amazon-41324-mihaela-and-raluca-nica-13.jpeg)\n\n### In the community\n\nWe foster diversity and inclusion globally and look for ways to amplify underrepresented voices and empower diverse communities.\n\nOur technology opens opportunities to entrepreneurs, authors, creators, and builders from all over the word—from individual sellers to small and medium-sized businesses. We work to build long-term partnerships with vendors and sellers who share our vision of advancing toward a more equitable future that improves the lives of people everywhere.\n\nWe continue to make progress in building a more diverse workforce, with the number of women in tech roles at Amazon increasing. Today, women lead many of our biggest and most important businesses, including our overall delivery experience, Amazon Fresh, AWS Public Sector, and more.\n\n![Vaibhav Vadile in front of the Spheres logo and green foliage](https://assets.aboutamazon.com/dims4/default/54829d8/2147483647/strip/true/crop/3024x2016+0+1714/resize/300x200!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.aboutamazon.com%2F69%2Fd9%2Fb30b964e48119a2984bb15ffb3ac%2Fvaibhav-vadile-2.JPG)\n\n### Around the world\n\nWe strive to be a top employer for diverse talent and to make Amazon a place where these leaders want to grow their careers.\n\nWe know that representation is critical to accomplishing this goal, and that diverse leaders attract and retain diverse talent. We also continue to invest in programs, such as our global mentorship program, which creates more than 6,000 mentorship opportunities every year to actively recruit and help more women advance into senior and technology-focused roles.\n\nThe support Amazon provides is one of the reasons we were named one of the Top 10 Companies to Work for by LinkedIn in India, Australia, Canada, Germany, Mexico, Japan, China, the U.S. and the UK.\n\n![Amit Sharma Amazon India](https://assets.aboutamazon.com/dims4/default/4587f84/2147483647/strip/true/crop/3000x2000+0+0/resize/300x200!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.aboutamazon.com%2F69%2F77%2F545be05541638fdb0c61b09a2e9e%2Fset-ab-1.jpg)\n\n- [Army to corporate world, Amazon veteran speaks of the transition](https://www.aboutamazon.in/news/workplace/army-to-corporate-world-amazon-veteran-speaks-of-the-transition)\n\n![Trans-Inclusivity at Amazon](https://assets.aboutamazon.com/dims4/default/a3af62b/2147483647/strip/true/crop/2000x1333+1+0/resize/300x200!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.aboutamazon.com%2F83%2F92%2F67ffe4e24ed5bf1f4e2e543cbae1%2Ffull-group.jpg)\n\n- [Trans-Inclusivity at Amazon India: A progressive next step](https://www.aboutamazon.in/news/operations/trans-inclusivity-at-amazon-india-a-progressive-next-step)\n\n![Amazon Saheli](https://assets.aboutamazon.com/dims4/default/f572f7a/2147483647/strip/true/crop/4896x3264+16+0/resize/300x200!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.aboutamazon.com%2Fe4%2F80%2F0703f3d24db0a26e67dd1295372c%2Fradhanpur-417-edit.jpg)\n\n- [Empowering women entrepreneurs](https://www.aboutamazon.in/news/small-business/empowering-women-entrepreneurs)\n\n![Amazon employee Brendan Gramer](https://assets.aboutamazon.com/dims4/default/39f94fe/2147483647/strip/true/crop/2000x1333+0+0/resize/300x200!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.aboutamazon.com%2F0d%2F26%2Fbaa573b9408e8da5d5cb2aa85efd%2F20180330brendangramerasl-blog-03.JPG)\n\n- [‘Raising the bar’ on accessibility and inclusion at Amazon](https://www.aboutamazon.in/news/workplace/raising-the-bar-on-accessibility-and-inclusion-at-amazon)\n","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"About Amazon","url":"https://www.aboutamazon.com","sameAs":["https://x.com/amazonnews","https://www.linkedin.com/company/amazon","https://www.instagram.com/amazonnews"],"logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://assets.aboutamazon.com/bd/8f/88e7b0314cc2bd05b9de3155a0fe/amazon-news.svg"},"parentOrganization":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Amazon","url":"https://www.amazon.com","sameAs":["https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3884","https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_(company)","https://x.com/Amazon"]}}}
