Culture & Inclusion

Our Terex Inclusion Strategy

Our prioritization of culture and inclusion creates a dynamic workplace. We believe diverse backgrounds and perspectives enhance collaboration, creativity, problem-solving, productivity, and job satisfaction and promote a culture of achievement. Our goal is to create a positive work environment where everyone is treated with respect, dignity, and fairness. The Terex Code of Ethics and Conduct explicitly prohibits discrimination against team members on any basis, including race, gender identity, or disability status.

Our global strategy for culture and inclusion emphasizes targeted execution of our four pillars: Recruit, Engage, Develop, and Retain. Our Culture & Inclusion Site Roadmaps provide step-by-step guidance and outline specific actions under each pillar, holding sites accountable against achievement of our culture and inclusion objectives.

Inclusion Starts With “I”

We believe that inclusion in our workplace starts with the tangible and intentional actions that all Terex team members must make to ensure that their fellow team members feel safe, supported, and valued. Fundamentally, Inclusion starts with “I.” Our “I Will” Inclusion Statements serve as a roadmap for individual actions team members can take to create an inclusive work environment.

Initially hesitant, I seized the chance to lead the Early Talent Affinity Group. Collaborating with Terex team members broadened my skills and connected me with diverse perspectives. Beyond a leadership role, it became a vital professional development opportunity. For those contemplating a group leadership role, I encourage taking the leap and volunteering for our nine fantastic affinity groups, each offering unique growth experiences.

Collin, Genie

I really appreciate the opportunity to co-lead the Parents, Guardians & Caregivers Affinity Group at Terex. Affinity groups give you a chance to network with, share with & learn from colleagues in similar situations while at the same time giving you a glimpse of the diverse situations we face. As a co-lead I enjoy looking for topics, speakers & information to help my colleagues with that all important work-life balance.
