Strategic Pillars to Drive Real Change

Driving real change means driving real action, and ID&E has been a top priority for us since day 1.

To build upon a culture that is embracing of our differences we’ve implemented a series of “Courageous Conversations” across the company. These sessions provide a safe space for employees to share their experiences, thoughts, hopes and fears on the importance of inclusion, diversity and equity.

The themes that emerged from these powerful discussions shaped the strategic pillars that frame our company-wide action plans:

Building Diverse Teams

Our mission is to recruit, retain and develop a diverse workforce and create an environment where people can do their best work, feel valued, trusted, authentic, and psychologically safe. We believe that an appreciation of individual differences is the key to improve the quality of decisions, spark creativity, align with customer demands, and solving problems faster.

ID&E runs in our blood at GVR. Our aspiration to mobilize the future is no easy task, but our confidence in getting there is founded upon the unique insight, perspective, and talent of our diverse team members.

ID&E Programs

At Gilbarco Veeder-Root we foster an environment where all perspectives are welcomed and valued. In Europe, we play an active role in various ID&E forums. The ID&E Council is our primary mechanism for driving progress across the business in the form of awareness, skill-building, communication, and community outreach.

Additionally, eight employee resource groups (ERGs) have been formed to create powerful focal points for connection, community, and advocacy. A number of our European Leadership Team play an active part in these ERG steering committees.
