— Gender Diversity Recruitment Strategies Campaigns for Senior Level Positions at ABB

As part of the Global D&I Inclusion strat- egy, the Global Executive Search team will proactively: • Identify top tier external female candi- dates currently holding executive level positions with expertise in areas that are the least represented at ABB, i.e., with an emphasis on engineering, opera- tions and P&L responsibility.

• Reach out to these executives to build relationships/rapport with the intent to make them aware of present and future opportunities at ABB. • Maintain regular contact with the identi- fied prospects to determine their ca- reer goals and aspirations and their timing for making a career and/or com- pany change.

Create a database of female ex- ecutive candidates whose skills align with the needs of ABB with an emphasis on the least repre- sented competencies.

Partner with Communications to provide suc- cess stories, white papers, etc. and highlight hires/promotions of female execu- tives at ABB.

Source/recruit without the pres- sure to fill just open vacancies, but rather to present profiles to create new op- portunities for external female candidates.

Use the database to proactively build a network of female execu- tives from which to recruit for all future positions at ABB.
