Oracle has once again been spotlighted as a top employer in Forbes’ prestigious 2024 list of the world’s best employers and one of the world’s top companies for women.
This exceptional achievement joins our previous call outs for excellence, including being named one of Forbes’ best employers for diversity.
Findings were based on rigorous research and in-depth surveys in collaboration with data experts Statista. This time around, Forbes consulted with more than 300,000 employee survey participants across 50 countries to decide the world’s best employers.
Oracle excelled in areas like working environment, health benefits, talent development, and workplace inclusion among multinational companies.
Passion and vision
It takes passion and vision to write a success story like this across Oracle’s global reach. The pillars of our exceptional workplace culture make this possible. They’re what underpin our commitment to positive change that make us an outstanding employer.
Our approach is inspired by our mission to not just work on the future but to create it. Our technologies are geared towards transforming the world, with a shared commitment to making the future better for everyone.
For example, Oracle Health is already transforming Veteran care with cloud technology that promises to create better outcomes for patients and empower healthcare providers. While our cloud technology is also accelerating the AI revolution that’s introducing a new era of efficiency everywhere from startups to governments.
It’s an exciting time here—and it’s all powered by our people. Every day, our teams get to realize their full potential while contributing to solutions that address challenges affecting billions of lives.
Transform, grow, belong
It all adds up to making us one of the world’s best employers and when you drill down, you can clearly see that our people are the main drivers. Our commitment to them rests in three main pillars:
1. Transform the world for the better
Our people collaborate on technological solutions to today’s most pressing challenges, shaping a better world as part of the global business cloud leader. We actively engage with enterprise customers, governments, and NGOs worldwide to address diverse issues, from climate change investigation to cancer research.
2. Grow as a person and a professional
Growth shouldn’t be limited to the bottom line. Self-directed training, mentoring, and on-the-job learning opportunities mean individuals are empowered to set and achieve their career goals, leverage flexible scheduling, and embrace career autonomy. Employees can also seamlessly transition across jobs and functions through our internal hiring ecosystem—Advantage YOU.
3. Belong to a culture of innovation
Culture and inclusion are at the heart of Oracle. We champion the rich experiences and perspectives of our people, fostering an environment where innovation thrives. This allows employees to bring their best selves to work and exercise social responsibility in how they impact the world with their ideas.
Making it happen—benefits and beyond
Oracle doesn’t just talk the talk; we walk the walk with flexible benefits and wellbeing supports. Employees also enjoy access to learning resources, including tuition reimbursement, LinkedIn Learning, and Oracle University so they can continually challenge and improve themselves.
The result? Longer careers with us and teams with much deeper roots and expertise. We even empower people to forge ahead in their careers outside the company with the knowledge they can return to Oracle with their new experiences and skills when ready.
Alongside this, is our commitment to inclusion. Through our employee resource groups, we ensure diverse voices are heard and empowered to lead meaningful change. Specialized recruitment programs further promote success for underrepresented communities, people with disabilities, and Veterans.
Level playing field
The results speak volumes. Oracle not only provides benefits like flexible work arrangements, skill development programs, and family leave options—we actively align our mission with women’s professional and personal ambitions.
Championing women in leadership the way we do levels the playing field for women to reach the very highest positions across our business.
Global Head of Culture and Inclusion, Traci Wade goes into this in more detail in her piece on breaking gender bias where she highlights Oracle CEO Safra Catz’s words: “I wouldn’t be where I am today if folks did not fight their unconscious bias when I first started.”
At Oracle, we don’t leave it to chance—we act.
Our commitment to equal opportunities for advancement is a beacon for diversity in tech. Programs like Generation Oracle and the Oracle Veteran Internship Program, hiring people after career breaks, and partnerships with organizations like Disability:IN and Ada Developers Academy broaden pathways to Oracle careers in an understanding environment that leverages peoples’ unique abilities.
World-class opportunities
In the competitive tech landscape, Oracle shines as a company that not only embraces innovation but also prioritizes the power of people and personal development.
The recognition by Forbes as one of the world’s best employers and a leader in empowering women in the workforce underscores our commitment to a culture of growth and positive change.
As we navigate the future, our approach stands as a testament to the idea that a company’s success is intricately tied to the satisfaction and well-being of its employees.
