Our prioritization of culture and inclusion creates a dynamic workplace. We believe diverse backgrounds and perspectives enhance collaboration, creativity, problem-solving, productivity, and job satisfaction and promote a culture of achievement. Our goal is to create a positive work environment where everyone is treated with respect, dignity, and fairness. The Terex Code of Ethics and Conduct explicitly prohibits discrimination against team members on any basis, including race, gender identity, or disability status.
Our global strategy for culture and inclusion emphasizes targeted execution of our four pillars: Recruit, Engage, Develop, and Retain. Our Culture & Inclusion Site Roadmaps provide step-by-step guidance and outline specific actions under each pillar, holding sites accountable against achievement of our culture and inclusion objectives.
Recruit
Significantly broaden the talent pool.
Engage
Ensure all team members are inspired to work at Terex.
Develop
Foster a workplace that supports career advancement for top talent.
Retain
Retain top talent.
We believe that inclusion in our workplace starts with the tangible and intentional actions that all Terex team members must make to ensure that their fellow team members feel safe, supported, and valued. Fundamentally, Inclusion starts with “I.” Our “I Will” Inclusion Statements serve as a roadmap for individual actions team members can take to create an inclusive work environment.
I will make time
to be available when a team member asks to speak with me and I will take action as appropriate.
I will make team members feel valued
by consistently recognizing their efforts and contributions.
I will speak up
when a team member says or does something hurtful or inappropriate.
I will own up
to my mistakes and shortcomings.
I will identify my own biases
and will not let these biases cloud my judgement.
I will communicate transparently
to other team members about why decisions have been made.
I will listen attentively
and withhold judgement when a team member is sharing their point of view.
I will seek the input
of other team members for important decisions.
I will give a voice
to everyone on the team and will encourage collaboration.

in learning about other cultures so that I can work well with team members from diverse backgrounds.
Incorporating inclusion activities at Terex is like to sprinkling a bit of fun and flavor onto our daily work culture cupcake.
