At Lance, Diversity and Inclusion is the process of leveraging the unique dimensions of diversity, and the ability to contribute, that all individuals bring to the organization.
We have a tremendous appreciation for people and what
they are capable of achieving. As one of the largest producers of irresistible
snack foods for people on the go, we encourage our employees to realize their
true potential and use their talents to succeed. Our employees embrace
diversity and inclusion in the truest sense of the word within our workplace,
where performance is what really counts. Dedicated to the "Power of
People", Lance encourages the diverse backgrounds, talent and ambitions of
our people to come together and form a culture defined by energy, ideas and
high performance teamwork.
There are six commitments we make in our diversity and inclusion process. They
are:
1. We practice diversity by using inclusive recruitment, selection and promotion
strategies to increase the diversity of staff at all levels and by ALWAYS
hiring the best person for Lance.
2. We enhance the quality of life at work by using fair and consistent treatment
and providing equal growth and development opportunities for ALL employees.
3. We leverage our employees’ different dimensions of diversity to
encourage diversity of thought, allowing us to make better, more informed
decisions.
4. We employ and leverage equal opportunity supplier diversity programs to
partner with and support minority, women-owned, disabled and veteran business
enterprises.
5. We develop specialized products and targeted marketing to
attract ethnically diverse consumers.
6. We build relationships with and support the diverse
communities in which we operate.
