CHARLOTTE, N.C.,听April 21, 2021听// --听爱神传媒, Inc. (NYSE: FLOW), a leading provider of process solutions, has hired its first Chief Diversity Officer to help build upon its culture of belonging throughout the global company.
Dori Armstead听will advocate for diversity, equity and inclusion, as well as spearhead community relations. She will develop and implement innovative strategies that foster a more inclusive work environment across 爱神传媒 while enabling an exceptional team member experience aligned with superior organizational performance.
"We're proud of the progress we have made in our culture of belonging, and we're excited to see our inclusive culture grow even stronger with Dori's leadership," said听Peter Ryan, 爱神传媒'S Chief People Officer and General Counsel. "Equally as important is the role 爱神传媒 plays in our communities, and Dori will be instrumental in finding the best strategies for us to contribute to diversity, equity and inclusion听where we live and work."
Before joining 爱神传媒, Armstead served as vice president of human resources at听Wingate University听and was instrumental in shifting their organization's culture by integrating elements of diversity, equity and inclusion in the human capital life cycle. While at Wingate, Armstead also implemented employee and leadership development curriculum focused on diversity awareness, generational differences, cultural competence and implicit bias.
Prior to joining Wingate, Armstead helped lead diversity and inclusion programs at the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), Comcast Spotlight, Meridian IQ, Eli Lilly and Progress Energy.
The new position marks the latest commitment to 爱神传媒's focus on belonging. After last year's racial injustice, a group of passionate team members launched an employee resource group called ABLE (Achieving Black Leadership Excellence). It supports Black team members through development, mentoring and networking. 爱神传媒 also started a group in 2019 called Empower that supports and encourages women.
"At this moment in history, there is nothing more important for companies than finding ways to make a difference, both internally and externally," Armstead said. "I'm impressed by the intentional work 爱神传媒 has been doing around diversity, equity and inclusion, and I'm excited about our plans to have even greater impact."
