Diversity
At Rumpke, diversity and inclusion are the fuel we use to drive our family into the future. By celebrating the unique voices in our workforce — and the differences in our culture, perspectives, and backgrounds — we build stronger connections with our employees, customers, and the communities we serve. To accomplish this, we are continually implementing new programs to motivate and develop talent while measuring engagement and promoting equity.
A Firm Commitment to Respect
- Our Diversity & Inclusion Committee includes team members from various departments, generations, races, ethnic backgrounds, sexual orientations, and religious preferences. This team creates our platform, programs, and diversity initiatives.
- Every diversity training starts with a video message from Rumpke's President & CEO, as well as an introduction to our diversity and inclusion mission statement and commitment to the cause.
- Rumpke Respect is a training program for all foremen, supervisors, managers, and senior staff. It introduces and defines diversity, racism, equality, equity, inclusivity, and unconscious bias through expert testimony, role playing, case studies, and other activities.
Building a Diverse Team
- We partner with countless organizations, including local vocational and tech schools, The Ohio State University, University of Dayton, Miami University, University of Cincinnati, Xavier University, University of Louisville, and University of Kentucky to ensure a diverse workforce.
- We partner with Ohio Diversity Council, Ohio Means Jobs, Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities, Department of Job and Family Services, and numerous nonprofit organizations such as Urban League, Action for Children, Father Up, and A Step in the Right Direction.
- Rumpke offers co-ops and internships to develop talent, as well as training programs to promote careers for maintenance techs, CDL drivers, and sales professionals.
