We are a purpose-driven company aiming to empower the next generation to explore the wonder of childhood and reach their full potential. We live up to our purpose employing the following behaviors:

We collaborate: Being a part of Mattel means being part of one team with shared values and common goals. Partnership is our process and our collective capabilities are our superpower.

Diversity & Inclusion Goals

Mattel is committed to fostering a culture where all employees can realize their full potential. Through our diversity goals, we are cultivating a work environment that promotes equality, inclusion, and empowerment. Our goals are:

  1. Achieve 100% pay equity for all employees performing similar work.
  2. Increase female representation at all levels of the organization.
  3. Increase minority representation at all levels of the organization.

Always Innovating

For more than 75 years, Mattel has inspired wonder in kids. They know they must continue to grow and evolve to meet children’s needs where they’re at today. While toys are Mattel’s foundation—and always will be—the company has started pushing the boundaries beyond that, by building a presence on YouTube and Netflix, and creating entirely new digital and content teams. There’s a sense of momentum at Mattel, and employees say it’s a delight to be a part of, especially because they know they’re positively impacting how kids they see themselves in the world.

Community

An integral component towards fostering an inclusive culture at Mattel are our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), created and led by employees to bring together members and allies of underrepresented identities across the company. Our ERGs organize company-wide learning opportunities, cultural celebrations, community outreach, elevate important conversations and collect critical feedback. All employees are welcome and encouraged to join, participate or become leaders within ERGs. Our ERGs: Mattel Asian Diversity Exchange, Latinx en Mattel, Black at Mattel, Sustainability for Employee Engagement & Development, Our Proud Employee Network, PARENTS, Mattel Playmakers, and Women of Mattel.

Well-Being at Mattel

We believe in healthy living and an active, positive lifestyle. We have a long history of promoting health and wellness and supporting playgrounds, day cares, community centers, and hospitals around the world, including our namesake UCLA Mattel Children’s Hospital. In today’s unprecedented times, we are actively contributing in various ways to the fight against COVID-19. The health, safety, and well-being of our employees has always been our top priority.
