National Hispanic Heritage Month, held annually from September 15 to October 15, gives us an opportunity to recognize the contributions of Hispanic Americans to the history, culture and achievements of the United States. It’s also an opportunity for employers to recognize their team members’ professional contributions to their company’s culture and growth, and their employees’ personal contributions to their communities.
More and more employers are celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month as part of showing their commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). This is not only important for current employees to see DEI in action at their employer, it’s also important for potential candidates to get an inside look into the company’s values.
Here are some of the great examples we’ve seen from employers celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month this year. We hope that this gives you ideas and inspiration for how your company can shine a light on hispanic-identifying employees as well!
