Successful companies are made up of more than just their products; it’s their people, too. At Trillium Flow Technologies, the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion cannot be understated. Reflecting on the value and importance of these core beliefs, Michelle Dawn Mooney hosts a conversation with Trillium’s Vice President of Human Resources, Jessica Stulberg.

Even after only a year with Trillium, Stulberg recognized the human capital aspect of business and its important role in the company's overall success. “We partner with the business, the function partners with the business to see how we can drive success in our strategies through people in the organization,” said Stulberg.

Making diversity, equity, and inclusion a part of Trillium’s core beliefs ensures employee's needs are being recognized, heard, and met; it also positively impacts the communities and suppliers of the business. Stulberg said, “We know that we get better business outcomes when we have diversity of thought, diversity of experiences, and diversity of culture in our organization.”

To help promote these values, Trillium reached out to the heart of the business: people. Stulberg noted, “We created a diversity and inclusion committee that’s comprised of employees and leaders across the organization so they can share their ideas and make impactful changes in our organization.”

The committee has created a Diversity and Inclusion charter through Trillium’s policy statement, developed key initiatives focused on the recruitment of females in STEM and leadership, generated core and basic KPI’s in each operating country, and added basic training on unconscious bias.

Among initiative successes, from 2020 to 2021, Trillium increased the total number of females in the organization by almost 30%, and Trillium’s year-over-year recruitment of women in STEM positions has increased by over 20%.
