The Human Factors and Ergonomics Society (HFES), founded in 1957, is the world’s largest scientific association for human factors/ergonomics professionals.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
The METG, along with HFES, strongly values the vision of "a future in which the reach, relevance and quality of human factors/ergonomics (HF/E) are greatly expanded by enriching the science and enhancing its impact on solving societal problems," including systemic racism. In support of this vision, we value and celebrate the diversity of students, practitioners, educators, researchers and other individuals who engage in the profession of HF/E and the stakeholders who benefit from their practice.
Our commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion (DEI) and belonging is a commitment to recognizing and celebrating the variety of characteristics that make individuals unique. These characteristics encompass a broad range, including, but not limited to: race, ethnicity, age, belief system, cognitive style, culture, (dis)ability status, education, gender, gender identity, gender expression, geographic background, job type (e.g., academic, industry, government/military/aerospace, consulting), language, marital/partnered status, national origin, physical appearance, political affiliation, religious beliefs, sex, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, theoretical perspective and veteran status.
