Lockheed Martin Corp.'s Diversity Maturity Model ranks its units on a five-tier scale based on how fully they have implemented the company's diversity principles:
Level 1: No recruitment strategy or formal mentoring, and work teams are built around a cadre of "go to" employees.
Level 2: Recruitment and mentoring programs are in place, with attention to students at colleges and universities with many female and minority students. Team selection is based on performance.
Level 3: A comprehensive staffing strategy ensures the "talent pipeline" stays full; employees are well versed in career and training options; teams are built around a diversity of experience and skills.
Level 4: A well-developed staffing plan helps interns graduate into jobs and employees move into leadership posts; knowledge flows from veteran employees to new hires.
Level 5: Recruiting envisions an "inclusive" workforce, and staff-development programs are considered the best in the industry. Mentoring is "embedded in the culture," and the diversity of talent provides a competitive edge in winning business.
