Our Commitment to Diversity

At Divine Express Logistics, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are embedded in everything we do. We are proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer, welcoming and celebrating the uniqueness of every individual. All qualified applicants are considered for employment, regardless of age, national origin, race, color, disability, religious beliefs, or sexual orientation.

We firmly believe that a diverse and inclusive workforce drives innovation, creativity, and success. This commitment empowers us to build an organization where everyone feels valued, supported, and equipped to thrive.

Key DEI Initiatives

Our approach to fostering DEI at Divine Express Logistics is deliberate and robust. Here are the key initiatives we implemented in 2023 to create a more equitable workplace:

Unconscious Bias Training

To ensure a fair and equitable hiring process, we introduced unconscious bias training for all hiring managers and employees involved in recruitment. This program helps identify and address hidden biases that could unfairly impact candidates, promoting a more inclusive recruitment process that values talent above all else.

Employee Resource Groups

We launched an Employee Resource Group (ERG) program to support and empower employees from underrepresented groups. These ERGs create a safe space for dialogue, networking, and collaboration while fostering a strong sense of belonging. They also provide a platform for employees to share their perspectives and influence positive change within our organization.

Inclusive Policies and Practices

We are continuously working to ensure that our workplace policies are inclusive and equitable:

• Accessibility Improvements: Policies for accommodating individuals with disabilities are reviewed and updated regularly to meet evolving needs.

• Religious Accommodations: Practices were refined to honor and support employees' religious beliefs through flexible scheduling and accommodations.

By creating inclusive systems and structures, Divine Express Logistics upholds fairness and ensures every employee feels respected and supported.

Community Engagement

Our commitment to DEI goes beyond the walls of our offices. We actively engage with the community to drive inclusivity on a broader level:

• Partnering with organizations that promote diversity and inclusion to recruit candidates from various backgrounds.

• Hosting outreach events to promote equity and inclusion in underrepresented communities.

These efforts reaffirm our responsibility not only to our employees but also to the community as a whole.

Measuring Impact

To understand the efficacy of our DEI efforts, we regularly collect feedback from employees through surveys and focus groups, monitor the diversity of our workforce, and track progress against defined goals. These insights allow us to tailor our strategies and continuously improve.

Looking Ahead

Our commitment to DEI is ongoing. Here are our priorities for 2024:

• Expanding unconscious bias training beyond hiring to include leadership and day-to-day operations.

• Growing our ERGs to include more groups and initiatives, along with dedicated funding for their programs.

• Further strengthening partnerships with diverse organizations to improve recruitment pipelines.

• Continuing to refine policies to ensure inclusivity for all individuals, with a special focus on mental health resources.

At Divine Express Logistics, we believe that creating a workplace where everyone feels seen, heard, and empowered will set the foundation for greater success—not just for our company, but for our people and communities.

Together, we will continue to move forward with purpose, fostering a culture where everyone belongs.
