GOAL 1
Attract, hire and retain diverse talent.

Associate Resource Groups
Our Associate Resource Groups (ARGs) support our commitment to promoting and maintaining an inclusive culture for all associates by bringing together individuals from a wide range of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. These groups seek to foster a sense of shared community and empowerment for associates and allies who share and support a common social identity, such as gender, ethnicity, and sexual orientation. All Werner associates interested can join any ARG to network, discuss and exchange ideas and enhance their professional development.
