To us, diversity is a unique combination of various dimensions – such as age, gender, ethnic heritage, race, physical or mental abilities, sexual orientation, values, religion/spiritual practice, income, family status, education, and geographic location – that makes each of us different from and yet similar to others.
We strive to create a sense of belonging by encouraging each employee to be themselves and inspire others, as well as educate, advocate and communicate to foster an inclusive and engaging culture and work environment.
Our mission is to ensure that The Wittern Group continues to be a global leader in not only the convenience services and controlled dispensing industries, but also a leader in inclusivity and a company where being yourself matters.
“At The Wittern Group, we work together to build a culture that respects every individual for who they are, values their contributions and gives them opportunities to succeed. Creating a workplace where every team member can be themselves, embrace differences and truly feel included is something we are very proud of and continue to focus on each day.”
