34 2021 ESG REPORT Attracting Talent The success of our business depends on our ability to attract, engage and grow a diverse population of talented technical and skilled team members at all levels. To help us compete for rare skill sets, we have developed talent acquisition, team member engagement and total rewards strategies, which are outlined in the following sections. One successful strategy for growing entry-level diversity is our intern program. In 2021, we attracted an intern class that was 29% female, 35% ethnically diverse, 5% veterans and 3% people with disabilities. Throughout the three-month program the interns were provided with compelling engagement and educational opportunities, including 10 lunch and learn sessions with leaders throughout the business. Inclusion and Bias Training Maxar's DIB strategy fosters inclusion through seven employee resource groups (ERGs), including groups for women, Black and African Americans, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, Hispanics and Latinx, LGBTQ+, team members with disabilities, and veterans. More than 20% of team members participate in at least one group. ERGs hosted several events last year ranging from a Juneteenth discussion to Pride month trivia and Hispanic Heritage Month activities—all raising awareness and enthusiasm for different cultural topics and issues. Our executive leaders regularly attend these events, and director-level team members often lead them, providing opportunities for networking and mentorship. We are taking steps to foster further increases in ERG membership and events. To raise awareness of unconscious bias, we have woven Inclusive Leadership and Implicit Bias training into our leadership development programs. Our DIB training content is offered through LinkedIn Learning, as well as through multiple virtual learning sessions presented by a nationally recognized DIB expert. By the end of 2021, 25% of our leaders had completed inclusivity training. Additionally, we held seven candid conversations regarding different underrepresented groups to increase awareness of the varied life experience and unique challenges of our diverse team members. We currently provide anti-workplace harassment training to all U.S. team members, and in 2023 we will provide anti-bias and inclusivity training to all team members globally.
