Inclusion, Diversity & Equity
We are more together.
A culture of belonging.
At Fortive, we have a clear vision for inclusion, diversity & equity (IDE): We all have a role in building a community where everyone belongs—where you can speak your mind, be yourself, and feel supported. It’s how we achieve more together—for each other, for our customers, and for the world.

EEO-1 and Aspirational Goals
Focused on Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity.
We believe that a diverse workforce creates extraordinary value for our employees and shareholders. We are committed to diversity in all its forms. As part of our IDE journey, Fortive has created Aspirational Goals for traditionally underrepresented groups. We will work towards those goals through such actions as: recruiting from a wide variety of diverse candidate sources, cultivating an inclusive environment where everyone can succeed, providing training on diversity and unconscious bias, and monitoring policies and practices to ensure that no group is inadvertently disadvantaged.
Another part of Fortive’s commitment to diversity is our adherence to EEO (equal employment opportunity) principles. All persons are evaluated through a neutral merit-selection process. The best qualified person will always be chosen for an opportunity. We do not consider race, ethnicity, gender, or any other protected trait in our hiring, promotional, or other processes.

IDE in action.
Activating a culture of inclusion.
At Fortive, employee and friends resource groups (EFRGs) activate a culture of inclusion and create space for all voices to be heard. They’re a powerful way to connect and learn more about change-making topics like code-switching, how to be an ally, and unconscious bias. We have 8 Fortive-wide and 23 company-specific EFRGs, and you’re empowered to start a new group for a cause that matters to you. All EFRGs are voluntary, employee-driven, and open to all.
Supporting employees with a personal commitment to inclusion and a desire to be an ally.
Strengthening inclusion for Asian and Pacific Islander employees.
Building a stronger community by attracting, retaining, and empowering Black employees.
Empowering LGBTQ+ individuals and allies to create a more inclusive and supportive workplace.
Helping our LatinX community achieve their full potential through inclusion and growth.
Empowering womxn by driving change through education, support, and intentional focus on equity.
Creating a great place to work for remote employees through networking, tech suggestions, and best practice sharing
Encouraging recruitment, networking, and community support for veterans.
“IDE is part of Fortive's foundation. Creating an inclusive, diverse, and equitable culture is deeply embedded within our core values and in our Fortive Business System. It's simply the WAY we expect all of our people to do the work.”
