Retention, Development & Diversity
We recognize that our success is due to the dedication of our employees across the globe. We are deeply committed to fostering an inclusive and collaborative workplace where employees can contribute, thrive and grow.
In addition to our strong commitment to safety, we are equally dedicated to providing employees with the resources, opportunities, and support they need to succeed in their careers. We recognize that the diverse backgrounds, skill sets, and experiences of our employees are vital to advancing our business and delivering on our sustainability goals.
We seek and welcome candidates for all positions without preference to any protected classes, and we are committed to celebrating diversity in all its forms. By fostering an inclusive environment where every employee feels valued and supported, we strengthen engagement, drive innovation, and create opportunities for long-term success.
Our ability to attract and retain top talent is built on a foundation of competitive compensation and benefits, professional development programs, and a rich, collaborative culture. Through targeted training and development, we help employees expand their skills, grow in their careers, and realize their aspirations.
We understand that employees have a choice in where they work. That’s why we continue to enhance our performance as an employer of choice by aligning our purpose, values, culture, and sustainability program with the aspirations of our workforce. By doing so, we are able to attract, engage, and retain top talent while fostering a workplace that celebrates diversity, develops knowledge and skills, and advances shared success.
DE&I Highlights
Employee Resource Groups
As part of our commitment to diversity, equity & inclusion, we have a number of employee resource groups (ERGs) across the company. These include the Black Employees and Allies United (BEAU), Pride@Cabot, Women’s and U.S. Military Veterans ERGs to help raise awareness, encourage allyship, offer professional development, and support community engagement amongst these diverse groups. All employees are able to join and participate in these ERGs.
Inclusive Leadership Training
We believe inclusive leadership is not just a beneficial skill but a fundamental aspect of our strategy to nurture a workplace where all our colleagues can thrive. As such, we have introduced a new inclusive leadership development program for our people managers designed to empower participants with the knowledge and skills needed to be effective leaders who foster inclusivity. The program focuses on key action areas, including commitment, courage, cognizance (awareness of bias), curiosity, cultural intelligence and collaboration. This program has been well received with 99% of our people managers participating.
Revitalizing our Focus on Values and Culture
Our values of respect, excellence, responsibility, and integrity serve as the foundation of how we work, guiding decisions, shaping behaviors, and setting expectations for how we treat one another. We have renewed our focus on strengthening our culture by launching Values and Culture Workshops that engaged employees in meaningful dialogue about the role of values in daily work. These efforts included workshops, refreshed communications, updated onboarding materials, and redesigned recognition tools all aimed at keeping our values front and center in how we collaborate and succeed together.
Partnerships
We are proud to collaborate with a variety of organizations dedicated to creating opportunities and fostering a sense of belonging for all. Together, we work to uplift and strengthen our communities, ensuring everyone has the support they need to thrive. These partnerships reflect our commitment to making a meaningful impact.
Global Well-Being – Tour de Cabot
We are committed to continuing to build a workplace culture of physical, mental, financial and social well-being. To advance this initiative, we globally launched “Tour de Cabot,” a physical activity and movement challenge. Nearly 2,000 employees collectively took over 700 million steps during the 6-week challenge, showcasing inclusivity by allowing any form of physical movement. Throughout the Tour de Cabot, participants also embarked on a virtual tour learning about local cultures, customs, cuisines and Cabot products.
CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion™ Pledge
Our CEO, Sean Keohane, joined more than 1,000 CEOs in signing the pledge. By signing onto the commitment, Cabot Corporation is promising to take action to cultivate a workplace where diverse perspectives and experiences are welcomed and respected and where employees feel encouraged to speak up and take part in constructive conversations around issues of DE&I.
