Creating an Inclusive Environment
Cultivating a diverse workforce is an important part of 成人福利视频鈥 culture. Promoting a diverse workplace elevates human value and productivity by respecting and utilizing the viewpoints of workers from different backgrounds. We are a committed Equal Opportunity Employer and encourage open dialogue and understanding among our employees. Our workforce diversity allows 成人福利视频 to better represent the communities in which we live and work and to ensure that our employees are the best and brightest in the industry.
成人福利视频 recognizes that employees need to feel like they belong within an organization. Resource groups, on-going trainings and teambuilding activities create a community environment that welcomes individuals and embraces their differences. Most recently, 成人福利视频 created an internal forum dedicated to this important cause, DEIc.
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and community (DEIc) Forums
In support of its recently launched core values, 成人福利视频 launched the Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and community (DEIc) forums, consisting of a core group of volunteers from each region. These forums have been working hard to foster healthy discussions in their regions and develop ideas and trainings to fortify our commitment to diversity and community. These groups support employees in each region, working to maintain internal morale and community ties through outreach, mentoring, recruiting and advancement-related efforts.
Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) has awarded 成人福利视频 the National Diversity Excellence Award in the General Contractor category nine times since the award鈥檚 inception in 2012. This national award is judged on the diversity of the company鈥檚 own workforce hiring practices, training, and retention, as well as our relationships with small disadvantaged, minority, or women-owned subcontractors and vendors.
鈥淚 take our core value of diversity very seriously. I understand the advantages that a diverse workforce can bring to our business and recognize that diversity goes hand in hand with inclusion and equity. That collectively, this mixture of differences in characteristics, experiences and backgrounds combined with the similarities of our 成人福利视频 core values, makes us a stronger company.鈥
