Get to Know Our Employee Resource Group - PLUS(+)
We want all our people to feel like they have a place within our organization, and that their opinions matter. After all, our people are our greatest asset! That’s why we are focused on having an inclusive culture where every individual feels welcome, valued, respected, safe and heard.
Employee resource groups (ERGs) are an important part of J.B. Hunt and support our overall inclusion strategy. Our ERGs are voluntary, employee-led groups that are open to all employees and are designed to offer our people opportunities to grow their professional network, give back to the community and enhance their work experience.
What is the PLUS(+) Employee Resource Group
Through sharing knowledge, inspiring authenticity and creating community, PLUS(+) provides a safe and empowering space for individuals who identify as members of the LGBTQIA+ community and aims to continue building a welcoming workplace for all employees.
“It's so wonderful to be a part of PLUS(+) in general, just because everyone's so loving, and wonderful, and sweet, and just open-minded and caring,” said Qamar, data privacy engineer and PLUS(+) member. “For me, the value that PLUS(+) brings is awareness of the things that are happening in our communities.”
“The compassion that I feel from our community, the sense of comradery is something I think is very important,” said Amanda, quality control verification specialist and PLUS(+) member. “It's very nurturing and healthy to have that.”
