Advancing Diversity & Inclusion

  • 2-14 Role of the highest governance body in sustainability reporting

We are committed to building an inclusive culture in which people with diverse backgrounds and perspectives are able to contribute fully to our growth and the future of CMC. Our Code of Conduct and Business Ethics and our employee handbook outline our commitment toward equal opportunity in all stages of hiring and employment as well as prohibiting all forms of unlawful discrimination and harassment.

We work to promote diversity and inclusion in all aspects of our HCM programs, from recruiting and training to leadership development and employee engagement. Our talent recruitment efforts include initiatives focused on attracting a broader, more diverse pool of candidates. These initiatives including posting job ads in multiple languages in local markets and creating a hiring tool for veterans seeking jobs, which matches their military job descriptions with open roles that meet their qualifications. We have also expanded our career fair participation with Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) and Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI), attending 20 schools in 2024.

We are incorporating diversity and inclusion in our training and development programs. Our Core program includes modules on topics including bias, stereotypes, empathy and collaborating in diverse groups, and our Essentials of Management program for people leaders includes modules focused on understanding and identifying bias, fostering a culture of belonging, and how belonging and inclusion affect engagement and retention.

We are also working to promote diversity and inclusion in the workplace by establishing teams to network, mentor and share best practices. In 2024, we launched our Women’s employee resource group, Women Empowered at CMC (WE@CMC), which is open to all employees to plan activities and training programs aimed at driving advancement and recognition for women.

Helping Veterans Find Work

Many veterans struggle to find work and transition to civilian life after years of military service.

Many veterans struggle to find work and transition to civilian life after years of military service. In addition to creating a veteran hiring tool to help match former military job seekers with relevant openings, CMC partnered with American Corporate Partners, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to helping military veterans and their spouses transition to the private sector through one-on-one mentoring with business leaders. Our team members have the opportunity to serve as volunteer mentors and 74 CMC employees have participated in this program to date, with a waiting list of additional volunteers.
