LEAD by Women

Avient 的“LEAD by Women”员工资源小组通过增加获得培养领导技能和加速职业发展所需的工具和资源的机会来促进多元化与包容性。虽然由女性领导，但该举措是“包罗万象”的——鼓励每个人参与、学习、提高技能并推进我们的使命。 

LEAD by Women’s events and on-demand courses count over eight thousand attendees since its creation in 2018. Avient associates globally have had the opportunity to hear and learn from renowned speakers on a wide range of topics, such as career development, building trust, how diversity fuels innovation, unconscious bias, and belonging.

Through chapters across North America and globally, LEAD by Women offers leadership opportunities to its committee members, while ensuring that the programming is tailored to localized needs. This decentralized approach ensures sensitivity to regional customs while advancing Avient’s overarching objectives.

In 2022, LEAD by Women celebrated its fifth anniversary and took the opportunity to reflect on its evolution and how the organization has helped advance Avient’s Diversity and Inclusion journey. It also continued to offer its programming virtually to a geographically dispersed audience, including associates from the newly created Avient Protective Materials.
