THE GARDEN

Cultivating a culture of innclusion

Just be you – we like it that way!

Ours is an authentic culture where you can be yourself at work. The way you look, sound, love and think – that’s who you are – and we value that.  We all come from different backgrounds and experiences.  It makes us stronger, more caring and more creative.  And when you feel respected and confident, you have more courage to bring the best of you to work every day.  That’s who WE are and how we will grow TOGETHER.

THE GARDEN: EXPLAINED

Our organization is committed to “creating an environment that reflects the change we want to see in the world”.

 

“The Garden” was created to serve as a resource for team members and leaders to continue learning and connecting. So why the name? Dr. Jaye Goosby Smith, Associate Professor at The Citadel, explains: 

 

“Think about diversity and inclusion as a garden. When you think about the different types of flowers and vegetation that’s planted into a garden, that’s diversity. That includes the different human beings that make up the organization. Now when you think of inclusion, it’s the soil into which those flowers are planted. Inclusion has to do with all of the conditions that make people willing and able to bring their best to an organization to achieve its goals”.  

 

By creating an inclusive space where every team member can thrive and reach their highest potential, the sky is the limit for what we can accomplish together.
