Activating a culture of inclusion.
At Fortive, employee and friends resource groups (EFRGs) activate a culture of inclusion and create space for all voices to be heard. They’re a powerful way to connect and learn more about change-making topics like code-switching, how to be an ally, and unconscious bias. We have 8 Fortive-wide and 23 company-specific EFRGs, and you’re empowered to start a new group for a cause that matters to you. All EFRGs are voluntary, employee-driven, and open to all.
Supporting employees with a personal commitment to inclusion and a desire to be an ally.
Strengthening inclusion for Asian and Pacific Islander employees.
Building a stronger community by attracting, retaining, and empowering Black employees.
Empowering LGBTQ+ individuals and allies to create a more inclusive and supportive workplace.
Helping our LatinX community achieve their full potential through inclusion and growth.
Empowering womxn by driving change through education, support, and intentional focus on equity.
