NB+C – Celebrate Diversity Month
NB+C proudly announces the successful conclusion of its Celebrate Diversity Month festivities, which featured a range of engaging and inclusive events organized by the People of Change – United in Color (POC-UIC) employee resource group. Throughout April, NB+C employees united to honor the diverse tapestry of cultures, traditions, and perspectives that enrich our community. Spearheaded by the POC-UIC, a diverse array of activities fostered understanding, appreciation, and unity among our team members.
The festivities commenced with an energetic kickoff event, including interactive activities like the Map+Flags initiative. Here, employees proudly displayed their origins by pinning locations on a world map and crafting flags to represent their cultural heritage, visually showcasing the diversity within our company.
In addition, employees participated in a Workspace Decorating Contest, infusing their workspaces with personal touches that celebrated their unique identities and cultural heritage. The contest encouraged creativity and sparked meaningful conversations about the importance of diversity and inclusion in the workplace.
Furthermore, the month-long celebration included educational sessions, trivia challenges, and a culminating potluck party where employees had the opportunity to share dishes that represented their cultural backgrounds.
“We are thrilled with the overwhelming response to our Celebrate Diversity Month events,” said Kristine Juquiana, Site Acquisition Project Manager and Chair of the POC-UIC. “These initiatives not only fostered a greater sense of belonging and inclusivity within our organization but also highlighted the value of embracing diversity as a strength.”
Kara Silbert, VP Human Capital, added, “Celebrating diversity is more than a month-long endeavor; it’s about embedding a culture of inclusivity into the fabric of our organization. Our ongoing commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives ensures that every employee feels valued, respected, and empowered to contribute their unique perspectives.”
NB+C remains committed to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace, and looks forward to building on the success of Celebrate Diversity Month in the months and years to come.
