Striving for Diversity
Southwire’s is built on ideas. New ideas are vital to the continued prosperity of the company. And fresh thinking and different perspectives are vital to the continued generation of new ideas.
The talent and energy of a diverse group of people make Southwire what it is today, and will make Southwire what it must be tomorrow.
We didn’t always know that as clearly as we know it today. Like many businesses, we were slow to realize that a commitment to diversity goes beyond compliance.
That commitment is now a key part of our planning for the future. We are determined to build a diverse workforce and an environment in which every employee feels comfortable, respected and empowered to build his or her career.
Our commitment is showing results. Since 2004, nearly half of all new managerial and professional hires have been either minority or female.
