Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee

Our DEI committee members represent a variety of departments and positions at Elmhirst’s Resort. We embrace our diverse perspectives, promote a sense of belonging and advocate for initiatives among our teams and throughout the company.

What is DEI?

Diversity:

Diversity is about a rich mix of differences. It encompasses all the dimensions that make each person unique, including ethnicity, race, age, style, gender, personality, beliefs, experiences, sexual orientation, and more. Psychological, physical, and social differences occur among all individuals. A diverse group, community, or organization is one in which a variety of social and cultural characteristics exist.

Equity:

Equity levels the playing field. The guarantee of fair treatment, access, opportunity, and advancement for all, while striving to identify and eliminate barriers that have prevented full participation of some groups. Tackling equity issues requires an understanding of the root causes of outcome disparities within our society.

Inclusion:

Inclusion is about each person feeling valued and connected. Everyone thrives in an environment where our inherent worth is recognized, we can be safe to express our authentic selves, and we know we belong to something bigger.

Our Commitment:

To Our Employees:

To provide a stable, safe workplace that includes proper training and tools; fair treatment in terms of wages, hours of work and working conditions; opportunities for advancement; articulated expectations and strong management support.

To Our Guests:

Our Guest and staff relations are defined by mutual trust and respect. Guests and staff can expect to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

Goal:

As a committee, we are committed to fostering an equitable and sustainable workplace that values diversity and inclusion.
