Ryder’s Vision for Diversity and Inclusion is to create a supportive, collaborative work environment which values individual differences and similarities, promotes respect for all individuals and their ideas, and enables everyone to contribute their full potential while achieving our business objectives.
Diversity is defined by the collection of similarities and differences that we each possess. Our definition includes both physical, visible attributes as well as those not easily seen. These are the characteristics we were born with, experiences we have had, and choices we have made.
Inclusion ensures that unique, as well as similar, points of view from our employees and our customers can be understood and leveraged for success. An inclusive environment is achieved when:
- Each person’s contributions and capabilities are recognized and routinely utilized in achieving the organization’s goals and are a part of the team because their differences in outlook, perspective and background are seen as adding value.
- People feel valued, respected, included and encouraged.
- Everyone understands they are fully able to contribute.
Here at Ryder, we use a variety of strategies and practices to help attract, retain and promote a diverse employee base, including:
- Balanced Scorecard program that tracks company-wide diversity measures linked to the business strategy
- Diversity education and training for all U.S. employees
- Electronic staffing processes for internal and external candidates, capitalizing on a diverse talent pool
- Community involvement in local initiatives, awareness campaigns, cultural observances, and charitable activities and events.
