"Creating a workplace that inspires, encourages, and supports diverse voices and contributions is critical for continued business growth, creativity, and innovation," added Essick. "In 2020, we created the Henkel NA Diversity & Inclusion Council with representatives from across the organization. Their role is increasingly beneficial in creating two-way dialogue with leadership and across the organization, as well as in influencing our diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) strategy. We are also increasing the number and scope of Henkel's Employee Resource Groups, to expand our grassroots workplace inclusion efforts."
