Key Highlights for the Year
-
Implementation of DE&I Questions Within the Winning Culture Survey
For the second year in a row, in conjunction with our third-party survey partner, we included diversity, equality and inclusion questions in our team member survey, for the second year in a row. The all-team member survey gave better insight into team member experience, engagement and the sense of belonging. There was an increase in favorability for DE&I as compared to last years’ results. We look to continue advancing our DE&I efforts to enable an environment where all team members feel a greater sense of belonging.
-
Unconscious Bias Training for People Managers
Last year, we announced our plan to deliver unconscious-bias training to all people managers within the company. The NXP Management Team (MT) kicked-off the initiative by completing their session at the start of 2022, with additional sessions held for members of our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs). In 2023, we delivered the training to our entire Human Resource (HR) organization and launched it enterprise-wide to our people managers. This will be an ongoing Initiative to ensure we train people managers who are either new to the company or have moved into roles with people-management responsibility.

Leveraging Our Diversity & Inclusion Council
Our Diversity & Inclusion Council serves as an advocate, resource and governing entity to advance NXP’s global, strategic diversity, equality and inclusion initiatives. The council includes the President and CEO, Chief Human Resources (HR) Officer, Chief Sustainability Officer, Executive Vice President of Global Operations, Head of Strategy, Vice President and Head of DE&I, along with business and strategy leaders and ERG members. In 2023, the council met on a quarterly basis to review progress towards our aspirational representation targets, retention of our team members, development initiatives, pay equity and to discuss additional initiatives.
-
Focus on Diverse Hiring Practices
We continued our practice of requiring diverse candidate slates for select roles. We also increased the award amounts for our Employee Referral Program, where applicable, when qualified women or under-represented minorities are hired via an internal referral. We conduct a monthly review with our leaders and Talent Acquisition team to ensure alignment to this process.
-
Continued Our Exit Interview Process
To gain a better understanding of what contributes to the attrition rate of women globally and minority team members within the United States, we continued our exit-interview process by inviting team members at specific job levels to provide direct feedback to the Head of DE&I prior to exiting the company. The invitation to participate in an exit interview is extended to the team member upon termination notification.
-
Recognized for Our Diversity & Inclusion Efforts
In September 2023, NXP was recognized as one of the three finalists for the Global Semiconductor Alliance (GSA) Women’s Leadership Initiative (WLI) Designing the Difference Award. This award recognizes companies that are making a significant and measurable impact on advancing the industry through diversity and inclusion.

Increased Our ERG Footprint
NXP increased its Employee Resource Group footprint by establishing two new chapters of the Emerging Professionals/Young Community in France and India, as well as two new chapters of No eXtra Planet in the U.S. and India.
