Ronald
Manufacturing Team Leader
Each member of my team has unique strengths that can collectively help our group. I do my best to treat each associate with equal respect and apply different approaches to keep everyone engaged and included. As an individual, I appreciate the opportunity to work in a diverse environment where I also feel included.
Pauline
Health and Safety Coordinator
The people I work with embrace and appreciate differences and like atypical profiles. Quickly, my position was very well adapted for my disability: an application generating subtitles during calls, transparent masks, and written transcriptions of meetings with a human platform and a tablet.

Ilias
Corporate Strategy Director
I changed cities five times, and I consider that somehow I’ve changed companies five times. Each time, being in a very different environment, culture, and language, I get a completely new experience and that fresh, exciting anticipation of the unknown.
