Berkeley Lab Ombudsman and Workforce Diversity Office Head, Harry Reed

Berkeley Lab recognizes that e now live and work in a world where diversity and scientific excellence coexist. We live and work in neighborhoods that are enriched from the diverse communities of the Bay Area. People we consider friends, colleagues, classmates, and even family are of diverse races, ethnicities, cultures, ages, and lifestyles. This is the community in which we compete for the best in their profession. This is the community Berkeley Lab serves, educates, and mentors. This is our diverse present and future.

LBNL Vision

  • We are committed to developing our people to their fullest potential.
  • We value and seek diversity in our workforce.
  • We will create an environment that respects the individual, encourages leadership, stimulates innovation, fosters integrity and demands excellence.

The Lab’s recommitment to diversity is stated in our Principles for a Diverse Community, the overarching principle that rests on the following values:

  • Leadership accountability
  • Managing diversity through Laboratory processes, procedures, and policies
  • Employee career growth
  • Communication as a means of unifying our community

Measuring our efforts using best practices as our standard At Berkeley Lab, commitment means leadership taking action to provide motivation and direction in a common cause. The Lab’s leadership shapes the culture and values that distinguish us from all other organizations.
