Belonging Report
Message from Donna Morris
Walmart wants to foster a culture where everyone feels seen, supported, and connected to build engagement among our associates, better serve our customers, and grow our business. We bring this sense of belonging to life through our associates, within our business and in the communities we serve. Our associates represent the customers and communities where we operate in the U.S. — where about ninety percent of Americans live within 10 miles of a Walmart — and globally in the 18 other countries we serve.
Our 2024 Mid-Year Belonging Report looks at workforce trends since the end of Fiscal Year 2024. In the past six months, we have seen:
- International representation for women in the workforce continues to steadily increase for women in management and officer roles. Women in management represent 47.67% of the total international workforce, an increase of 2.37%.
- People of Color represent 51.54% of the total U.S. workforce, an increase of 2.74%, reflecting broader trends in the national workforce.
- We continue to see individuals choose Walmart to start their career, with associates ages 20 to 24 representing 17.59% of our U.S. workforce, an increase of 3.85%.
