DIVERSITY & INCLUSION
AT CHARTWELLS
a celebration of inclusion from the chartwells diversity and inclusion action ti council
At Chartwells diversity and inclusion is at the core of who we are. Our leadership strives for it. Our associates live it. Our suppliers model it. And our community relationships reflect it. To communicate both our commitment and approach to diversity and inclusion, we’ve developed a very clear and concise strategy called the House of Inclusion.
HOUSE OF INCLUSION This strategy is composed of three parts: • Foundation - Education/Training • Pillars - Engagement/Participation • Roof - Measurement/Metrics We believe providing a solid foundation of diversity and inclusion knowledge, encouraging participation and measuring our progress are cornerstones in creating and maintaining an inclusive workplace.
Diversity and Inclusion Mission and Vision We envision diversity and inclusion becoming part of our global identity, enabling us to be the industry leader and a driver of innovation and success. To that end, we are on a mission to create a culture that promotes inclusion and appreciates our differences, allowing us to achieve success and ultimately a competitive advantage.
Diversity Metrics Tracking At Chartwells, we must attract, develop and retain top diverse talent and foster a workplace where each individual has the opportunity to shine. We maintain a focus on hiring associates who reflect our commitment to our clients, their customers and the communities of which we are a part. Our multifaceted diversity and inclusion strategy focuses on the needs of our business to drive excellent performance. Diversity metrics are captured and reviewed quarterly with senior leaders to ensure improvement in the areas of hiring, promotion, and labor turnover.
