Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
We believe the more diverse an organization is, the more productive, agile and innovative it is. Our efforts to foster a talented company that reflects the diversity of our customers have never been stronger ― and our leaders reflect the diversity of the teams they lead. I am proud that 73% of my executive leadership team are women or people of color, and our Board of Directors is 46% women and 36% people of color.

Supports and encourages open conversations about visible and non-visible disabilities, including mental health and neurodiversity. Last year, the group conducted a series of events focused on educating the workforce on topics related to accessibility including American Sign Language, mental health awareness and implications for security clearances, mindfulness and elder care.
Our Accessibility ERG regularly hosts webinars for all SAIC employees on important topics such as mental health.
Connect & Grow
Connects early-career and tenured professionals for networking, professional development, community service and environmental stewardship. This group sponsored more than a dozen events nationwide for employee engagement and development, which included raising more than $7,500 for the Appalachian Trail Conservancy and collecting more than 1,600 pounds of e-waste for handling and disposal.
Our Connect & Grow ERG comes together at our headquarters, continuing their work in environmental stewardship.
Equality Alliance
Champions lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and allied employees who celebrate and raise awareness for the LGBTQ+ community. This ERG created resources for our LGBTQ+ workforce focused on access to benefits, guidance for gender transitioning employees and training on our commitment to respect and understanding so everyone can be their authentic selves. It also sponsored and supported LGBTQ+-focused community events and volunteer opportunities.
Members of the Equality Alliance ERG enjoy the Pride Night Out with The Washington Nationals.
Military/VeteranS
Serves as an advocate and resource for employees who are former or active-duty service members and their families. With nearly 30% of our workforce being a U.S. military veteran, this group raised more than $50,000 in donations for military charities nationwide during FY24. It created and maintains a network for veterans to share stories, express appreciation, access resources and give back to their communities and coworkers.
The Military/Veterans ERG regularly volunteers with Building Homes for Heroes, an organization dedicated to building or modifying mortgage-free homes for former servicemembers who suffered major injuries.
Multicultural
Celebrates and champions employees’ ethnic and cultural differences and encourages the development, engagement and retention of SAIC’s underrepresented minorities. This group created, hosted and facilitated multiple engagements recognizing Black History, Diwali, Lunar New Year, Native Americans, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, and Hispanic Heritage.
Members of our Multicultural ERG celebrate the Lunar New Year.
STEM
Supports STEM programs in the communities where SAIC operates, and employees reside, as well as opportunities for current and future STEM professionals. Last year, this group of employees sponsored, facilitated and judged more than 17 robotics-, rocket- and science-based events inspiring young people to engage in science, technology, engineering and math. They also created and coordinated a program to refurbish and donate lightly used SAIC laptops and other electronics to multiple schools nationwide.
Since 2017, SAIC and the STEM ERG have been proud to support the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation and its recipients.
Women’s
A place for employees to champion growth, create networking and outreach opportunities and educate others about the unique challenges women face at work. In FY24, the largest of our resource groups, provided nationwide support to organizations supporting women, including Girls Inc, the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, Women in Aerospace, Women in Technology and The Women’s Center ― and raised over $250,000 in support of these organizations.
Members of our Women’s ERG support and regularly volunteer at the Manna House, a food distribution center serving the greater Huntsville, Ala.
