At Liberty Mutual, diversity is about all of us. We believe that recognizing, appreciating, and applying the unique insights, perspectives, and backgrounds of each person cultivates an atmosphere of trust and respect. Its also key to our success in engaging with all people and possibilities.
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) is how we do business, and will continue to invest in it to create a stronger global organization. We've reflected this commitment through our multi-year plan to increase DEI so everyone at Liberty can grow their careers. This plan includes goals to increase the representation of women and people of color at all levels in the U.S. by 2025, as well as ensuring our goals progress over the long term. Delivering on these goals means that about one-third of all employees will be people of color and over half will be women.
Additionally, we want to maintain our strong position of hiring women across all levels of the organization, and we know we have more work to do among mid-level manager+ employees to have women more strongly represented.
Our employee data as of December 31, 2019, shows that we can do better to reflect the customers we serve and communities where we live and operate. We know companies with a diverse workforce and inclusive workplace have better outcomes, see stronger business growth and support the development of the local economy in the cities, states, and countries where they operate. Liberty Mutual aspires to bring this to life, and we believe taking these actions will help us foster a place where people of all backgrounds want to work and thrive.
