Community Works is a unique workplace initiative which brings together Diversity, Civil Treatment, Corporate Ethics, Teamwork, and Leadership Development to form a single, cohesive, people friendly corporate community. The namesake of this initiative, Community Works, has a double emphasis. By “Community,” we mean a place where people gather and act in the best interest of the common good — and, as a result, all feel welcome and valued.  By “Works,” we mean a community where people work together to achieve organizational goals — and, as a result, the synergy of the community works for everyone. Objectives

• Create greater synergy between diversity, civil treatment, corporate ethics, teamwork, and leadership.
• Broaden and deepen an appreciation of the value of diversity by tapping the experiences of the employee population.
