K-C's Employee Networks are groups of employees who share a mutual interest in helping each other to grow professionally and contribute to business results. The networks provide a variety of ways for employees to learn more about K-C and get to know each other better. And since they are open to all employees, networks offer an opportunity to explore different cultures and establish relationships with K-C employees from different backgrounds.

The key benefits of the Networks are:

Development – providing opportunities for network members to develop and refine knowledge and skills that will help them to be successful in current and future business roles.

Recruiting – providing guidance and support in identifying, attracting and retaining top talent from diverse backgrounds.

Retention – helping individuals from different backgrounds to feel included in the K-C community and also within the surrounding residential community.

Feedback to senior leaders – helping to identify issues and opportunities for strengthening K-C's organization and sharing their unique perspective.

In 2007, there were 15 employee networks at locations in the U.S. with more than 3,600 members. The groups cover more established areas of diversity such as race and gender, as well as newer areas like parenting and family care-giving. It is important to recognize that all our employees contribute to the diversity of our workforce. We need innovative solutions to business challenges to win in the marketplace. Therefore we need to attract and retain the best talent regardless of background.
