CalPERS team members represent a multitude of races, ethnicities, and cultural backgrounds reflective of the members we serve.

We rely on team member demographic data collected by the California State Controller’s Office to inform the organization of its workforce race, ethnicity, and gender profile. In addition, we encourage team members to participate in the Statewide Change in Disability Status Survey and Statewide Employee Veteran Survey.

There are limitations to this data. For example, team members may find that the choices available for selecting their race, ethnicity, and gender identity don’t fully align to the way they self-identify. We recognize and celebrate the rich diversity of our CalPERS team. Our Employee Engagement Surveys provide an opportunity for team members to identify themselves more fully. The results of the last survey conducted in 2020 are included as an Appendix to this report. The results will be updated upon completion of the Fall 2022 Employee Engagement Survey. In the coming years, we hope to pursue better ways of collecting this data, not just for CalPERS, but at the statewide level. In the Looking Ahead section of this report, we talk more about our near-term plans to improve our ability to measure our DEI impact.
