Key initiatives such as the Disability Inclusion Playbook and Sensitivity Training have fostered a workplace culture where every employee feels valued and empowered.

The Gold Award for Leadership Development acknowledges FedEx's comprehensive programs designed to develop leaders at all organizational levels. Initiatives like the "Advance into Management" program, immersive cross-functional experiences, and a robust mentoring culture have equipped employees with essential skills and confidence. These efforts have led to a 95% employee engagement score and a 91% inclusion score.
