An Opportunity Employer

GEO is an equal opportunity employer focused on the development of our workforce with zero tolerance for all forms of workplace discrimination and sexual harassment. Responsibility for workforce initiatives lies with our Chief Human Resources Officer.

Today, women comprise more than half of GEO’s U.S. workforce and play a significant role in our leadership and management. Of GEO’s  14,384 U.S. employees, 51% are female. Women account for 55% of  our corporate employees, 41% of our facility security staff, and 48% of those serving in management positions as directors and above. 

Women are also involved at the highest levels of our organization. Of the seven current members of GEO’s Board of Directors, three are women. In all areas of our business, GEO strives to achieve wider racial and ethnic diversity. Across our organization, under represented minorities of the United States – including African American, Hispanic and Latino, Asian, Pacific Islander, Native Hawaiian and Native American/Alaskan – currently account for 69% of our U.S. employees. 

Minorities comprise 48% of GEO’s corporate workforce in the U.S., 74% of our facility security staff, and 54% of those serving in management positions as directors or above. GEO’s employee population is also diverse by age. 

GEO is proud to support our local communities, and we recruit more than 90% of our workforce from these communities.
