Atlanta, GA—The promise of continued success and strong partnerships isn’t the only thing that Aluvision is celebrating in the new year. Just ahead of the holidays, Aluvision was honored at the Exhibition Services & Contractors Association (ESCA) Annual Winter Celebration for having won the ESCA 2024 Diversity & Inclusion Award.
Being formally recognized for an inclusive, diverse, and supportive working environment is an accolade Aluvision takes to heart. As an international company working with partners across the globe, Aluvision embraces all people and empowers its employees to do the same for themselves and each other. In fact, the company trains its HR and talent managers to look beyond gender and gender identity, race, and sexual orientation, and truly get to know the individuals being interviewed. The aim is to match employees first based on personality, curiosity, and willingness to learn, and next on skills and experience.
“We find under this philosophy that we end up employing a diverse and culturally rich mix of talented people who are open-minded, accepting, and inclusive of each other, and are passionate about championing each other’s personal interests and causes,” says Aluvision co-owner Ann Vancoillie.
Among other reasons, Aluvision won the 2024 ESCA Diversity & Inclusion Award because of the company’s:
- Strong emphasis placed on gender and racial equality, ensuring that these values permeate all aspects of its hiring and operational strategies.
- Corporate culture, that not only adheres to federal diversity and inclusion policies but actively promotes a workplace where all individuals feel valued, leading to a diverse and empowered team.
- Involvement in community outreach, such as partnerships with local schools to prepare the next generation of diverse workers, showcasing its commitment to shaping industry standards and practices beyond its organization.
“This award is a distinguished honor that recognizes organizations that have made significant contributions to advancing diversity and inclusion within the exhibition industry,” says ESCA Executive Director Julie Kagy, CEM. “The efforts made by Aluvision serve as an inspiring example for the entire industry, and it is a testament to your leadership that these initiatives have led to tangible results. Your approach to fostering inclusivity and supporting underrepresented groups sets a new standard for organizations within our field.”
