Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Our inclusive orientation – the priority we place on recognizing the capabilities that others could bring – helped to make BlackRock what it is today. Our global scope and success derive from our ability to meld new perspectives into our mission.
An inclusive and connected culture is fundamental to our success. We hope it allows our employees to feel a sense of belonging and thrive in the workplace. By drawing on 20,000 colleagues and their unique expertise and experience, BlackRock brings the best of our capabilities together to deliver for our clients.
Our talent and culture.
We attract, develop, and retain top talent by cultivating an inclusive work environment where everyone has fair access to opportunities and feels seen, heard, valued, and respected.
Our activities to support interested clients.
We expand investment choices and business partnership opportunities by maintaining a network of diverse brokers, managers, and suppliers to meet the needs of interested clients, consistent with our fiduciary duty.
Our impact in underserved communities.
We contribute to the long-term success of underserved communities and help more and more people experience financial well-being through our BlackRock philanthropy and employee-led volunteer efforts.
Inclusion is the foundation of our culture, driving us towards collective success.
We take deliberate steps to reach top talent
We know people are core to our success which is why we pay so much attention to attracting, motivating and retaining top talent of all backgrounds. To do that, we regularly review job postings for biased language, champion diverse candidate slates to ensure we are drawing people from the widest talent pool and use a competency-based approach to interviewing.
Our employee networks
Our global networks are dynamic communities built on shared experiences and affinities. They offer employees the opportunity to enhance and continually shape our culture. Employee networks are sponsored by Executive leaders and designed by employees, for employees.

A snapshot of our programs
The BlackRock Returnship Program is a six-month opportunity modeled after an internship, with a path to full-time employment after successful completion. Returners take career breaks for a multitude of reasons, including to address caretaking responsibilities or medical issues. Returnship programs give people who have left the workforce for 18 months or more a clear path to rejoin.

Representation and hiring data as of January 1, 2024. Some figures are rounded to nearest whole number.
Senior leaders is defined as Director and above.
Our methodology allows for employees to be represented in multiple racial/ethnic groups and thus, the sum total is greater than 100%.
Since 2017, in accordance with UK government requirements, BlackRock reports point-in-time gender pay gap data for all UK employees on an annual basis. This gives us the opportunity to understand our progress year-on-year, as well as to assess and consider our focused efforts to improve.
Gender Pay Gap Reporting is one way in which we analyze our achievement against pay fairness objectives. Across BlackRock, we are committed to continuing these efforts and taking further steps where necessary to ensure fair access to opportunities for all.
Over time, as we work to close the gender pay gap, we expect our data to fluctuate, which does not demonstrate inequality of pay but rather, an underrepresentation of women in senior, higher-paying roles.
We also complete gender pay gap reports for other EMEA locations where required.
