Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging
Diversity & Inclusion
Our vision is to foster a diverse, inclusive workforce and culture that help make WWT a great place to work for all while positively impacting the communities where we live, work and play.

"WWT's Core Values are at the center of our culture and our Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging (DEIB) program. Listening to understand and celebrating our unique qualities makes us better individually, collectively and ultimately drives business innovation and success. WWT takes pride in honoring and respecting all our employees' unique differences, be it race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, veteran status, disability and more."
Outcomes
Our DEIB program is a commitment to continuously invest in a culture of inclusion that drives shared value across our people, business and community. When we invest in our people, we enable them to deliver tangible business outcomes and better themselves while creating a force multiplier for our collective ability to impact the communities in which we work.
Workforce
Building a diverse workforce starts with our recruiting efforts and providing continuous education to our employees on embracing and celebrating the cultural differences of our employees.
Business Impact
Creating a culture of inclusion encourages multiple perspectives, experiences and capabilities in problem solving. The results are significant to innovative and creative business outcomes.
Community Outreach
Continue driving change and education through community partnership. We believe making a positive social and business impact requires a combination of Corporate Social Responsibility.
Increasing empathy by sharing our stories
Effective storytelling increases empathy, which can lead to change. WWT Storytellers is a forum for employees to share their personal stories of challenge, growth, inspiration and triumph to help connect our employees globally. When employees feel safe and valued, they are more likely to make meaningful contributions to their teams, invest in their physical, mental and financial health, and seek ways to improve the community.
Employee Resource Groups
Transformation doesn't happen without listening. Our Employee Resource Groups strengthen our workforce culture dedicated to diversity, equity and inclusion. These groups help those in them better understand others through listening, learning and engaging. As we celebrate our employees' unique contributions to our culture and business, we put them in a position to make meaningful impact on our business and community.
