Business Resource Groups help our employees become more engaged in ways to leverage diversity and increase inclusion. They foster communication between Gentex’s senior leadership and its employees, contribute to the development of our future leaders, expand our community outreach, and help strengthen our workforce and workplace.
THERE ARE THREE PILLARS THAT EACH BRG OPERATES BY:
Inclusion
Create a sense of belonging within and across work groups and maintain an open forum for the exchange of ideas
Development
Identify gaps and propose solutions for professional development opportunities for Gentex employees
Community
Creating a liaison with a community organization that has a similar mission to the BRG
