At Lotus Terminals, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are not just buzzwords; they’re integral to our company’s DNA. In our latest blog, we’re proud to share our journey as leaders in the transportation sector, championing DEI initiatives that foster a culture of respect, belonging, and empowerment for every team member.
Our Diverse Workforce:
From Mumbai to Vancouver, our workforce represents a tapestry of cultures and backgrounds. With people of colour, including South Asian and Chinese, alongside individuals from British, German and Eastern European descent, we celebrate the richness of diversity that fuels our success. Together, we provide seamless transportation solutions that exemplify unity in diversity.
Empowering Employee Wellbeing:
At Lotus Terminals, the wellbeing of our team members is paramount. We prioritize their physical and mental health through weekly training sessions led by personal trainers. Partnering with TELUS Health, we offer comprehensive employee wellbeing programs, ensuring access to resources that promote a healthy work-life balance.
Investing in Professional Growth:
We are committed to the professional development of our employees and support their career aspirations. Lotus Terminals does this in two ways. First, Lotus has invested in an internal Learning and Development Specialist to develop multimedia, asynchronous training programs to ensure employee success not only at the onboarding stage but also within the workflow. At Lotus Terminals, every day is viewed as an opportunity to learn and improve performance. Also, Lotus Terminals supports access to relevant courses and personal development sessions led by external experts. Our commitment to their growth extends beyond their current roles, empowering them to reach their full potential.
Fostering Authentic Communication:
Lotus Terminals employs the most current and effective digital communication tools so employees can communicate instantly and effectively with customers, vendors and colleagues. At Lotus Terminals, we are proud of our close working relationships that transcend physical location. Equally, open and transparent communication is the cornerstone of our culture. We foster an environment where employees have a voice in shaping their career paths, encouraging regular dialogues between team members and leadership. Here, ideas and concerns are not just heard but valued.
Making a Community Impact:
Contributing to our community is integral to our mission. Our employees actively participate in community initiatives, making a meaningful impact beyond their work at Lotus Terminals. By giving back, we strengthen the bonds within our team and create a positive ripple effect in society.
