Diversity & Inclusion
Just as our portfolio comprises a variety of unique brands, which come together to make Newell Rubbermaid stronger and more powerful, so do our people. We join together from all over the world, with different backgrounds, strengths and perspectives to make Newell Rubbermaid stronger. We are built on three platforms that come together to make our employees stronger as individuals, as well as make Newell Rubbermaid stronger overall:
- Diversity: The combination of people who bring diverse thought and global perspective based on varying backgrounds, life and work experiences.
- Inclusion: A work environment where everyone has an opportunity to fully participate in creating business success and is valued for his or her distinctive skills, experiences and perspectives.
- Global Readiness: The ability to operate effectively in multicultural environments.
Our individual experiences and perspectives are not only celebrated, they inspire innovation and help us win. In the U.S., we have created several employee resource groups (ERGs) that are designed to enrich the everyday lives of our employees and our consumers. These groups include:
- BEACON - Black Employees Achieving, Connecting & Operating at Newell Rubbermaid
- HOLA - Hispanic Organization for Latinos
- NAAPA - Newell Asian American Professional Advocates
- OPEN - Out & Proud for Equality at Newell Rubbermaid
- WIN*WIN - Women in Newell Rubbermaid – Working, Inspiring, Networking
- YNWL - Young Professionals at Newell Rubbermaid
By embracing inclusion and understanding diversity, we grow personally and professionally. Our ability to work successfully as a multicultural team is intricately tied to our capabilities around building brands, while providing products that are meaningful to consumers around the world.
