Diversity & Inclusion
We are building a culture that recognizes how strong our organization can be when all of our customers, teammates, leaders and shareholders feel welcomed, represented and empowered.
What We're Doing
A Team-Based Approach
We put the work for this important part of our organization into the hands of our best assets - our people. Our D&I Team is made up of volunteers from across our organization who are passionate about Diversity & Inclusion and are motivated to be a positive influence on our culture.
This team was tasked with creating a D&I Plan that would advance and highlight steps that C&N has already taken towards a more diverse and inclusive culture. The team, in conjunction with leadership, will communicate and engage with our employees and customers.
The D&I Team meets regularly to track and discuss progress of the D&I Plan.
Our D&I Plan
Our D&I Plan is both exciting and ambitious. However, we know that Rome wasn't built in a day. This plan is designed to be a long-term strategy, separated into 4 main categories in order to divide our resources into manageable sections. These main sections and the primary goals are as follows:
| Recruitment & Retention | |
|---|---|
Our teammates make us who we are. By focusing resources into our new employee recruitment process and the retention of our talent pool, we can achieve our goal of creating a team that properly represents the communities we serve. Our efforts will focus on the following opportunities:

| Leadership Commitment & Accountability |

Diversity & Inclusion requires a commitment from the highest levels of the organization. A crucial aspect of our D&I Plan is to provide our leadership with opportunities to make a difference in the following areas:
|
| Training & Resources to Employees, Customers & Shareholders |
|---|
We strive for an organization-wide adoption of our D&I plan. It is therefore necessary to provide everyone, including our employees, shareholders and customers, with adequate resources and training to make sure we work together to make our organization stronger through the following channels:
|
| Extend our Diversity & Inclusion to Our Communities |
|---|
We believe that we can serve our customers better when our community is reflected in our culture. By incorporating communities into our D&I plan, we'll have a better viewpoint to provide our culture with diversity & inclusion resources. We plan to do this through the following:

You&Us. That's C&N
