Our Diversity Statement

At Red Thread, we believe in connections and are committed to diversity.

Our goal is to create an inclusive environment where racial equity, varying backgrounds, beliefs, gender, sexual identity, disability, and different cultures are valued and respected.

We pledge to foster a culture where differences are welcomed, and individuals are treated equally so our employees value unique contributions, encourage curiosity and innovative thinking, while being sure ours is a safe, respectful, fair, and inclusive environment.

At Red Thread, we encourage everyone to bring your authentic self to work and help make our connections even stronger.

Employee Engagement

We believe that engaged employees are vital to our success. We focus on open communication, recognition, and opportunities for growth to make sure every team member feels valued and motivated. We encourage collaboration and ownership, creating a supportive environment where everyone can thrive. Additionally, we integrate inclusive design principles into our work culture, ensuring that diverse perspectives are considered in everything we do.

Hiring & Talent Management

Red Thread is committed to attracting, acquiring and retaining a diverse pool of talent. We recognize the importance in our business to ensure our employee population reflects the diversity of the markets that we support. To measure our commitment and provide evidence of this, we maintain annual Affirmative Action Plans for our nine locations.

Our commitment to the principles of Equal Employment Opportunity is reflected in all our policies and procedures from recruitment and hiring to training, compensation, benefits, transfers, and promotions. This commitment is based on sound management and business practices, as well as legal requirements.
