ISS North America Launches Diversity and Inclusion Strategy

San Antonio, TX - Mar. 15, 2021 -  ISS North America, a leading facilities management and employee experience partner representing the global ISS A/S organization in the United States and Canada, today announced its comprehensive country-based diversity and inclusion strategy. Head of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, Eric Stallworth has undertaken an extensive project to set short- and long-term goals related to organizational policies and culture since joining ISS in March 2020.

 

“The North America D&I program builds on our global goals for diversity and inclusion in their broadest terms,” said Susanne Jorgensen, CEO, ISS North America. “People Make Places.  ISS has always been a people organization, working with a strong belief that great people -and their wealth of perspectives and experiences - can and do make all the difference.”

 

“We believe that inclusion and connection are even more imperative in 2021 as we seek threads to unite us and as we continue to find ways to support each other,” said Stallworth. “Diversity and Inclusion is always a journey of understanding, no matter what your level. ISS looks to lead by example. It is our responsibility to understand other perspectives and create an environment in which everyone can thrive.”

 

The ISS 2021 D&I strategy includes increasing women in management, boosting leadership development and employee resource groups.  To support and maintain a genuinely inclusive work environment for every team member, ISS is accommodating a variety of needs and work environments and partnering with strategic suppliers whose organizations also represent diverse backgrounds.
