RAISE at Avient
RAISE is Avient’s newest ERG, launched in 2023. We created RAISE to build a community of parents and caregivers at Avient who support and learn from each other. By creating opportunities to build relationships, we aim to connect associates who share similar experiences and challenges so they can empower one another to thrive, both personally and professionally.
The kick-off event featured Jamie Beggs, Senior Vice President & Chief Financial Officer, sharing her inspiring story as a working parent, as well as her perspective on the integration of work and family. Since then, the team sponsored a holiday gift-wrapping event where associates could socialize and wrap gifts together, or enjoy the convenience of having their gifts wrapped by a volunteer while they worked.
Looking forward, the group intends to provide a framework for other communities to form within Avient as part of the RAISE network. Connecting associates both locally and globally will create an opportunity for us to support each other as individuals as well as drive improvements to the employee experience.
“We all know it takes a village to raise children. RAISE is a platform that enables Avient parents and caregivers to expand their social circle andconnect with others who are also trying to balance work and family life. Joining RAISE gave me the opportunity to network with other working parents and feel like I am truly not alone in this challenging journey of parenthood.”
