How is diversity defined at Newell Rubbermaid?
Diversity is a collection of people, functions, teams, processes and qualities characterized by both differences and similarities. Outside the U.S., we recognize that the concept doesn’t translate locally. The term “diversity” goes beyond physical differences such as age, race, gender and physical ability to include ethnicity/tribe, country of origin, class/caste difference, religious beliefs, sexual preferences, education, socio-economic status, work experience and other ideologies. Inclusion means a work environment where everyone has an opportunity to fully participate in creating business success and is valued for his or her distinctive skills, experiences and perspectives.
