WORK ENVIRONMENT
Promoting an actively inclusive culture and creating a workplace where everyone is
welcomed, valued and respected.
Our Goal
To build a diverse, equitable and inclusive
workplace we are continuously listening and
learning, building our racial equity and inclusion
muscles, actively working to prevent barriers to
equity and increasing our support of employee
resources and networks.
Our Impact
Additional holiday granted to employees
All eligible employees will receive an additional
floating holiday starting in 2023. The additional
day was provided to ensure employees had time
and space to commemorate occasions that are
meaningful to them and their cultural practices.
Survey gauges employees’ thoughts on
DE&I work
This fall, employees were asked to complete a
survey to gauge their thoughts on the company’s
Moving to Equity work and other DE&I initiatives.
More than 8,600 employees completed the survey.
Those results show 81% of employees reporting
participated in DE&I development in the last 12
months and 90% reported being aware of the
company’s DE&I commitments. Additionally, 83% of
employees agreed they feel respected at work and
81% agreed with feeling like they belong at work.
Area of Opportunity
Across the company, employee resource groups,
councils and networks bring employees together
to cultivate inclusion and a healthy work
environment. We want to make sure employees
continue to be engaged and aware of opportunities
within these employee-led groups.
