Vitesco Technologies was recognized during CADIA's Annual Impact Awards celebration for making strides in "creating an inclusive culture" where individuals are encouraged and supported in their ability to show up in the workplace as their authentic selves. Last year, the company was honored for its Inclusive Leadership activities.

"It's a tremendous honor for Vitesco Technologies and the entire team to be recognized for building upon our leadership recognition to the programs that were cascaded throughout the organization," said Vitesco Technologies Chief Diversity Officer Florencia Stanfield. "We see inclusion as a journey without a destination. Creating platforms for listening to the voices and experiences of our employees, and then acting upon them… is a not-so-hidden secret to our success."

This past year, Vitesco Technologies implemented an in-house coaching process for their executive board and leadership team to educate on how inclusive leadership supports business objectives. The company also reached more than 1,200 employees with Unconscious Bias and Inclusive Leadership training. In addition, an ambassador program was grown to bring together DE&I champions from all countries, critical functions, and business units to drive business results. Overall, employee participation grew by 230 percent year-over-year with more than 8,400 employees participating in employee resource events within the region.

"I have great optimism for continuing to shape a culture of inclusion for all employees at Vitesco Technologies," said Stanfield. "We now have more than 20 employee resource group chapters across seven countries which is really unlocking our full potential."
