At Armstrong, we strive to create a workplace culture where all feel welcome, regardless of race, sex, ethnicity, age, gender or gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, disability or veteran status. Making our company more diverse and inclusive is not just the right thing to do, it contributes to a stronger corporate culture and helps us better serve all our customers and communities for a healthy tomorrow.
Our efforts on D&I are spread across all levels of the company and, since 2020, our Vice President of Talent Sustainability, Diversity and Inclusion has helped guide our programs and find key areas of opportunity and improvement to help meet our 2030 targets.
Employee Demographics
Engaging Our Employees on D&I
We use employee engagement, training and regular surveys, affinity groups, performance management and succession planning as tools to support and expand our D&I efforts. We continually seek to improve our overall performance on D&I by tracking key metrics around representation and hiring, and through employee engagement and training.
Employee Resource Groups
Throughout the year, we offered employee engagement opportunities centered around affinity holidays and celebrations, including Pride Month, National Black History Month, Asian Pacific American Heritage Month and International Women’s Day.
Armstrong currently offers a volunteer-driven Employee Resource Group (ERG) for employees to provide space and opportunities for connection for employees with a shared background or identity. We aim to expand our ERG offerings over the next few years.
