In 2021 Graycor created a Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) Council with a specific vision and purpose. With the full support and guidance of Executive Leadership, the DEI Council created an action plan centered on four key areas: 1) our Employees; 2) our Culture; 3) our Trade Partners/Vendors/Suppliers; and 4) the Communities where we live and work.
Graycor’s DEI Vision: “Create a workplace that mirrors the diversity of the communities where we live and work. Provide a work environment where all employees feel safe and respected, are able to thrive, and embrace and leverage their diverse and unique backgrounds, talents and interests to advance the business.”
DEI Council Purpose: “Identify and integrate best practices for diversity, equity and inclusion into our work culture. The DEI Council serves as an advisory body to the Executive Team. The Council provides research, recommendations, event support and policy guidance.”
A renewed focus in 2022 is being more intentional about ramping up diversity, equity and inclusion efforts by reaffirming and advancing our continued commitment. We believe in the power of diversity at Graycor, where people with diverse backgrounds, perspectives, ideas, experiences and abilities join forces to foster innovation, creativity and performance excellence—all of which help create a thriving work environment with strong business results.
