WHY DIVERSITY IS IMPORTANT
At Shaw, diversity is not merely a program or policy to be implemented. Diversity is who we are. The contributions of all employees are valued and all customers are welcomed. Our diversity initiative is just one more way that Shaw helps build stronger communities where employees, customers, and vendors succeed.
Why Now?
Valuing people and treating them with respect is certainly not a new idea at Shaw. Shaw’s focus on people has been part of the company’s belief system since its very beginning.
Diversity in the workplace has never been more important. With the changing and varied makeup of our workforce, customers, and the general population, and with the increased visibility of the Shaw brand to the ultimate consumer, we believe that now is the time to highlight and publicize our diversity initiatives.

- It’s the law of the land and organizational policy.
- Demographics are changing.
