Building Inclusion with Our African American Employee Resource Group
Our African American Employee Resource Group (AAmERG) works to support African American employee engagement, growth and professional development while producing a workplace culture that empowers the thoughts, ideas and perspectives of all employees.
“For AAmERG, this was an opportunity for us as a company, and as well as employees to provide just a workplace culture that truly valued the African American employee,” said Tiffany, director, business partnership and an AAmERG member.
“I think it’s important that we shine on our achievements in the African American culture,” said Maria, Engineering and Technology manager and AAmERG member. “I feel that it’s important that we always look back at what we’ve done in the past, what we contribute currently in the present, and what our future leaders look like.”
