Barry-Wehmiller Launches BW Inclusion Efforts to Build Greater Sense of Belonging

Thanks for the feedback shared by many of you through the Every Voice Matters cultural assessment—we heard YOU!

What we heard:

Barry-Wehmiller’s team members genuinely care about one another and would like for the organization to work toward becoming more inclusive and reflective of our communities. We agree! 

How we are responding:

Driven by our foundational commitment to ensuring that those within our span of care know that who they are and what they do matter, we are implementing strategies to enable us to build a greater sense of belonging at BW.

Through feedback to the Every Voice Matters cultural assessment, as well as listening sessions led by BW’s Organizational Development and Inclusion Leader Chyna Bowen, we’ve outlined these initial steps:

• Barry-Wehmiller University is creating continuous learning opportunities, and exploring how we can leverage different perspectives within our courses. 
• The Packaging Platform and Information Technology Team are launching pilot projects to help us understand how to attract and retain diverse talent.
• We are fostering partnerships in St. Louis to support the next generation of manufacturing and STEM leaders through education and workforce development initiatives.

Make sure to view the upcoming video from BW President Kyle Chapman about BW’s inclusion initiatives and watch for additional BW Inclusion updates throughout the year.

Our goal is to build a better world through business, and to do so, we believe we must embody a better world. In the meantime, if you have any questions, please reach out to inclusion@barry-wehmiller.com.

We’re committed to change!

As we strive to be an organization where every person feels like they matter, we appreciate the feedback you shared in the Every Voice Matters assessment. We are continuing to plan and roll out actions in response to your feedback at the enterprise and local level. Look for communication in the coming weeks and months about additional actions. Thank you for expanding our capacity for caring!
