Our DEI initiatives reflect our dedication to fostering a workplace that values diverse voices, celebrates inclusivity and embraces change. We are at the beginning of a transformative journey, taking our initial strides in a comprehensive effort to foster a diverse and inclusive workplace. We focus on long-term investment, pledging the necessary resources and time to make a lasting impact.
Inclusion
Continue to build a culture of inclusion and collaboration in which associates feel they belong and can bring their authentic self to work every day, leveraging employee resource groups (ERGs) to help educate and celebrate differences.
Recruitment and Development
Advance our associate attraction, growth, development and retention efforts and increase representation of diverse groups at all levels of the organization.
Community
Support partner organizations through volunteerism, product donations and charitable giving, helping build a more diverse and skilled workforce over time.
To fulfill our mission, we strive to empower our associates to bring their authentic selves to work. We sponsor ERGs that provide support and connection for members of particular populations, helping create a workplace where everyone feels comfortable and engaged.
