We Are People Driven

Seagate adheres to the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the International Labor Organization core labour principles, and the RBA Code of Conduct.

Our human rights policy demonstrates our commitment to preserve, protect, and promote the fundamental rights of employees. This document, published in Chinese, English, Malay, and Thai, is shared with all new hires during onboarding; is posted at our sites; and is included in our annual policy acknowledgment program.

Diversity is one of the key drivers of Seagate’s continued success as a data storage leader. But diversity alone is not enough. To build a thriving culture, we must embrace inclusion and actively pursue solutions that support racial and gender equity, both within our workforce and our communities. To learn more about our diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, check out our latest DEI report. 

Through Seagate’s employee engagement program, workers can build skills, gain experience, and empower themselves through face-to-face training, e-learning and classroom learning opportunities, in-depth leadership training and much more. 

These employee-led communities provide a safe space for discussion, connection, networking and professional development. With over 3,700 global members representing 9 ERGs and 29 local chapters as of FY2023, our ERGs play a vital role in building a culture where all employees feel secure, respected and valued.

EEO Statement

Seagate believes in Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) and recognises that a talented, diverse workforce provides a competitive advantage. We are committed to providing an environment where all individuals are treated equitably, and where people feel their talents and potential are recognised. Our global Equal Employment Opportunity Policy prohibits discrimination in all employment practices based on age, race, colour, ancestry, ethnic or national origin, physical or mental disability, medical condition, genetic information, marital status, sex (which includes pregnancy or perceived pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, or related medical conditions), gender (male or female), gender identity (our internal sense of our gender) and gender expression (how our behaviour, appearance and interests reflect our gender), sexual orientation, perceived or actual religious creed or political opinion, military and veteran status, taking or requesting statutorily protected leave, taking or requesting a reasonable accommodation for a protected basis, or other basis protected by applicable law. 

The health and safety of Seagate employees, contractors, and visitors is important to us, which is why: 

• Seagate locations and work activities are covered under health and safety management systems.
• All manufacturing sites are ISO 45001 certified. 
• Our global health and safety standards, as well as our accompanying management systems, frequently go beyond country or industry-level guidelines.

Our Environment, Health, Safety and Sustainability (EHS&S) Policy reinforces Seagate’s commitment to a safe workplace. This policy, along with site initiatives and training programs, supports the active collaboration, consultation, and participation of employees and other stakeholders, such as safety representatives, agency temps and contractors. This empowers every worker to actively identify and eliminate hazards, anonymously report concerns, incidents, and near misses, and to exercise the “stop work authority” without reprisal.

Our global Healthy Journeys wellness program seeks to educate, encourage, and support our employees as they work on achieving their health and wellness goals. Globally, all employees have equal access to the programs offered through Healthy Journeys and employee assistance programs. These programs offer counselling services and a hub of information on personal/emotional issues, family, relationships, work and financial/legal advice.
