The company has taken meaningful actions to cultivate a strong, inclusive and diverse culture to support its employees around the world. As part of its social efforts, Whirlpool has created consistent communications with employees through its annual Employee Engagement Survey. The survey has helped facilitate the company\u2019s ongoing response to COVID-19, including quickly implementing health and safety procedures to protect employees. The company also has strengthened its workforce development and engagement programs by offering online learning platforms and providing educational reimbursement to employees seeking to further their own development and improve on-the-job skills.<\/p>\n

Whirlpool is focused on inclusion and diversity, including delivering on its Racial Equity Pledge, which commits to drive hiring and development for all current and future Black colleagues and positive impacts in the local communities where the company does business. As part of these efforts, CEO and Chairman Marc Bitzer remains a founding member of OneTen, a coalition of leading corporate executives who have joined efforts with the mission to train, hire and advance one million Black Americans over the next 10 years into family-sustaining jobs with opportunities for advancement.<\/p>\n
