Our Commitment
“In our drive to be better, we commit to creating a more diverse workforce year over year. We do this because KLA, like society, benefits when we work with diverse teams to harness varying perspectives and talents in the furtherance of humanity.
We aim to increase representation of women across our global workforce, including in technical roles and our leadership pipeline, and increase the percentage of new hires from all underrepresented groups.”
Rick Wallace
President and CEO

Inclusion for All
Inclusion is a direct reflection of KLA’s core values, and we all play a part in creating an inclusive culture at work and in our communities.
At KLA, we commit to an inclusive workplace where differences are valued and everyone experiences a sense of belonging – we commit to Inclusion for All.
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 48% women in site leadership roles (director and above), and 31% representation of women overall at the Ann Arbor site. (Data as of July 1, 2022)

Diversity Snapshot
Publishing our diversity data demonstrates our commitment to I&D 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.

Data as of July 1, 2022. Data supplied by KLA Human Resources as self-reported by employees. Leadership comprises director-level and above. Technology roles include Engineering and R&D. Totals may not add up to 100 percent due to rounding. To align with U.S. government reporting requirements, this data uses the traditional gender categories of male and female. Racial and ethnic demographics shown are also based on government categories.
Annually, KLA submits its EEO-1 report to the government. This report is a snapshot of the number and demographics of employees based in the United States within broadly defined EEOC job categories. These broad categories are designed to span multiple industries and are not fully aligned with KLA’s workforce or industry. We feel that the data we publish on our website and in the KLA Global Impact Report are a more accurate reflection of the employee base at KLA. To see a copy of our EEO-1 report click here.
