More in Charting Progress on Our Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Journey

Our Team

At CalPERS, diversity is one of our greatest strengths and we embrace our diverse workforce.

We rely on team member demographic data to inform the organization of its workforce race, ethnicity, generational, gender, veteran, and persons with disabilities profile.

We also 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, it's a snapshot in time and change is constant. Additionally, team members may find the available identification choices don't align with the way they self-identify.
