Attracting, developing and retaining a diverse and talented workforce are fundamental to SimplexGrinnell’s strategic planning. After all, people are our most important asset and represent our largest investment.  Through Diversity we attract the best people.  Through Inclusion we inspire the best in our people.

To attract diverse applicants requires that we offer a workplace where differences in age, gender, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, marital status, veteran status and physical abilities are accepted and welcomed. Diversity at SimplexGrinnell goes well beyond this.  It includes diversity of opinions and ideas, styles, experience, and background.  These differences enrich our workplace and mirror the changing demographics of our customers and the communities in which we operate across North America. By promoting a collaborative and inclusive work environment  and fostering respect for all of our people gives us an edge in retaining an engaged and high performing workforce.

Our Diversity & Inclusion goals play a key part in our annual strategic planning process.  Goals have been established for new hires and promotions to help us broaden Diversity in general and in our management team. We are proud that women and minorities comprise up to 75% of our new hires and promotions in corporate staffing. We are equally committed to strengthening Diversity in our field operations. To support this, we continue to identify opportunities for membership or partnering with minority organizations, trade schools and universities.

Promoting high potential individuals from within is important to any company’s success. To this end, we have launched a Talent Development Framework, the goal of which is to establish an infrastructure that supports learning and development at all levels of the organization, with emphasis to identify and prepare key talent, including Diversity talent, to move into our executive, regional and district management levels.
