people and culture

our people and culture drive excellence.

As part of a multinational company, the Americas team believes that we bring the shared values of Aalberts worldwide to our unique culture here. Key to our success in the American market are our commitments to performance management, continuous learning, employee engagement, and diversity, equity, and inclusion.

To open up learning opportunities across our entire company footprint, we have entered a partnership with LinkedIn learning, where employees can acquire, enhance, and build a variety of skills and expertise that fit their current roles and prepare them for different functional roles and leadership opportunities. 

We are also bringing the Aalberts Connect and Fit program stateside for development of our leadership team. to connect at Aalberts means to understand yourself and your value to the company, while fit means you understand your style of leadership and the personal brand you bring to a management role. 

during the pandemic, we conducted our first-ever employee engagement survey company-wide, and the result has been a leadership team more driven to be proactive to create a framework and processes for real culture to grow within our Americas team. 

finally, there is much work to be done at every company, including our own, with regard to diversity, equity, and inclusion. we are on a journey, as we strive to become more diverse in many dimensions. we are making our company a place where people of different races and ethnicities, genders, orientations, as well as those living with disabilities can come together and enjoy working both individually and as a team.
