Approves of CEO

Pros

The people I work with are great. The CEO is a great example of someone who puts their employees first. Not many CEOs are as people focused as Stan. They're working really hard to promote a healthy culture. They're working really hard on DEI and putting it at the center of their culture.

Cons

Turnover rates - some silos between business units

At Novolex, Diversity is the unique differences, both visible and invisible, in the identities, experiences, abilities and backgrounds of our people. We are creating a workforce that represents the communities in which we operate.

Equity is fair treatment for our people. We are creating a workplace where there are equitable opportunities to learn and grow.

Inclusion is a safe workplace where our people feel respected, accepted and supported. We are creating a culture where all feel included regardless of identity or background.
