Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Council
As part of JBT’s commitment to Diversity & Inclusion (D&I), a D&I Council was established at our global headquarters and they have partnered with an industry leader in D&I to develop and launch the JBT Inclusive Leadership Series (ILS).
The ILS is a 6-session program that focuses on providing a series of structured and interactive leadership training session to leaders across the organization. The primary objective is to help JBT leaders incorporate inclusive practices into the way they manage their teams. Participants have found the program to be an enriching education through hands-on activities, active discussion and debate specific to inclusion as a leader and manager. A key outcome is that the program will help leaders embed inclusiveness into their management and leadership style and that they will gain tools and insights to keep this concept at the core of what we do within JBT. However, another exciting outcome is that this approach will create a robust curriculum that will provide valuable D&I leadership development for managers in our various businesses around the world.
