September 16, 2020 - Since their inception, automobiles were designed to deliver a unique sense of freedom that had never been experienced before. At their core, they’re vehicles for change that has allowed people to move freely and an opportunity to find their own way. All of these elements still ring true today, both for those who imagine the open road for the first time, and those who want to design and build the vehicle to take them there. With operations in more than 40 countries, customers in more than 130 countries and approximately 192,000 employees worldwide, FCA aims to understand our fast-paced and ever-changing world. Achieving that goal means anticipating the needs of our customers. The only way to accomplish this goal is by engaging and including diverse people at every point of contact, from factory workers, future car buyers, suppliers and management.
FCA prides itself on being a truly global company where diversity and inclusion are inherent characteristics of the company’s fabric. Every day, people from all around the world, step into our offices and plants, bringing with them their special talents, diverse strengths and endearing quirks. They all have an opportunity to do and be their best. These individuals are the energy that allows FCA to create unique portfolio of distinctive brands to meet the needs and expectations of customers and car enthusiasts around the world. Creating such an environment is possible because of a conscious and continuous effort to affirm diversity, not only on a global scale but locally as well.
Over the years, FCA is proud to have contributed to creating positive experiences that allow for all of our employees to lead better lives for themselves and positively impact their community. Programs are in place across the globe to foster diverse and inclusive work environments among employees. Sometimes the positive effect is easier to show than simply using words, like in our plant in Betim (Brazil). The video gives a taste of what life would be like if everything were the same, and the results were, bland.
