Nurturing DEI&B at Tris
Our Diversity & Inclusion Committee, a long-running employee resource group at Tris Pharma, is tasked with recommending specific actions to educate, cultivate and motivate open dialogue and monitor Tris’ efforts to curate and maintain an inclusive workplace environment.
One key initiative of the D&I Committee is the creation of monthly informational presentations to celebrate and educate employees about culturally significant events and traditions. From Lunar New Year to Los Posadas, these presentations highlight the richness of our diverse workforce and provide an opportunity to learn about the customs and values that shape our colleagues' identities.
By fostering understanding and empathy, these efforts contribute to an ever-evolving, culturally inclusive workspace where every individual feels valued and respected. The D&I Committee plays a pivotal role in advancing Tris Pharma's vision of an inclusive and equitable workplace by actively promoting cultural awareness and appreciation across the organization.
"Diversity and inclusion at Tris foster a welcoming environment where everyone feels valued and empowered to contribute. Being part of this team has been a rewarding experience, as it has allowed me to learn about different cultures, build stronger connections and promote teamwork. Tris’ efforts go beyond the workplace by supporting the community through initiatives like food drives and donations, adding value not just to the company but to the broader community. Being part of these impactful efforts has been an incredibly gratifying experience."
