We strive to be flexible, agile and inclusive to meet the needs and preferences of our diverse workforce. We have continued to make several enhancements to existing programs and policies to cultivate a positive employee experience for all. Real Talk . Real Action. ENERGIZE In 2021, Dow CEO Jim Fitterling and Michael C. Bush, CEO, Great Place to Work, held a virtual program called Energize, designed to spark real discussions and action under the theme “Control What You Can Control . ” Their discussion focused on employee well-being and connecting purpose with work. SHIFT INCLUSION CHAMPIONS (SIC) In 2021, Dow Latin America implemented SIC to generate more participation of shift employees in ID&E programs. More than 100 SICs across all Latin American sites received onboarding training to help them be successful. Thanks to these efforts, ERG participation in the region grew by 11.3% from the previous year. At the Dow Aratu site in Brazil, the inclusion campaign was promoted during a maintenance turnaround to engage employees, reinforce Dow values among contractors, and set clear expectations to service providers coming in and out of the site throughout the shutdown. Over 1,700 people engaged, as well as contractors from 40 different companies. DESIGN YOUR DAY In alignment with employee sentiment, we implemented Design Your Day, our new approach to workplace flexibility. Design Your Day encourages employees and leaders to collaborate on an individual workplace plan , and enables each employee to maximize their productivity and balance personal needs, while continuing to meet their job expectations.
