- Increased understanding of value sets
- Better communication
- Improved outcomes
- Increased employee engagement and retention
“We empower our team members to take initiative and grow their professional careers.”
We are developing a corporate approach to career pathing to help our team members see a clear path to achieving their career goals.
At Royal American, Diversity is not only about age, race, and ethnicity, but about acknowledging all forms of diversity such as gender, sexual orientation, physical abilities, religion, political beliefs, educational levels, socioeconomic background, cultural background, military service, and more. Acknowledging all forms of diversity will enable our organization to foster a more collaborative workplace positioned to grow to its fullest potential.
Diversity, equity, and inclusion is a journey, which means it’s an ongoing process. Having specific goals for diversity and inclusion, and regularly measuring progress, is key. We encourage all of our employees to embrace and be inclusive of their colleagues’ differences and continue learning about the benefits of diversity as it relates to our communities and the workplace. Doing so will continue to position Royal American on the right path toward greater success.
