Nokia currently supports at least eight employee resource groups, called Employee Business Partners (EBPs), that support its minority employees, and which are open to all Nokia employees. The EBPs are independent organizations that play a key role in helping to advance the professional and personal growth of Nokia employees by providing forums for networking, career development programs, and voluntary community service initiatives. The EBPs also participate in various diversity councils providing critical input to the corporation’s diversity strategy. The EBPs provided by Nokia include (1) 4A (Asian/Pacific American Association for Advancement), (2) ABLE (Advancing Black Leadership and Excellence), (3) EQUAL! (supporting lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer employees and their friends and family), (4) HISPA (Hispanic Association of Nokia Employees), (5) IDEAL (Individuals Dedicated to Enabling Accessibility in Life), (6) LUNA (United Native Americans of Nokia), (7) StrongHer US Women’s Leadership Network, and (8) VALOR (supporting U.S. military veterans and those currently serving).
