AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Nov. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Vitesco Technologies was recognized for the second consecutive year from among its automotive peers by the Center for Automotive Diversity, Inclusion and Advancement’s (CADIA) for its ongoing efforts toward creating a culture of inclusion while pursuing its role as a leading international provider of modern powertrain technologies and electric mobility solutions.

“It’s a tremendous honor for Vitesco Technologies and the entire team to be recognized for building upon our leadership recognition to the programs that were cascaded throughout the organization,” said Vitesco Technologies Chief Diversity Officer Florencia Stanfield. “We see inclusion as a journey without a destination. Creating platforms for listening to the voices and experiences of our employees, and then acting upon them… is a not-so-hidden secret to our success.”

The company also reached more than 1,200 employees with Unconscious Bias and Inclusive Leadership training. In addition, an ambassador program was grown to bring together DE&I champions from all countries, critical functions, and business units to drive business results. Overall, employee participation grew by 230 percent year-over-year with more than 8,400 employees participating in employee resource events within the region.

“I have great optimism for continuing to shape a culture of inclusion for all employees at Vitesco Technologies,” said Stanfield. “We now have more than 20 employee resource group chapters across seven countries which is really unlocking our full potential.”
