At VS&Co, belonging is foundational to how we operate. Ensuring all associates feel welcome, included, respected, and empowered to contribute and succeed.
Belonging fuels high performance. It empowers us to meet the needs of our customers and ensures we continue to thrive in a competitive, global marketplace.
Our belonging efforts are focused on:
Attracting the Best Talent
- Build a global team by actively seeking a wide range of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives to help us meet customer needs.
- Hire the most qualified individuals from a broad talent pool, ensuring a true meritocracy.
Nurturing a culture where we:
- Ensure fairness and opportunity for all.
- Respect and value differences and where everyone feels supported to do their best.
- Drive innovation and results by incorporating diverse perspectives in decision-making.
When we prioritize inclusion and belonging internally, it manifests in everything we create for our customers. Whether it’s the products we design, the services we offer, or the ways we communicate, our customers see themselves reflected in our business. This connection is crucial for improving the customer experience and building lasting relationships with those we serve.
Inclusion Resource Groups
Our Inclusion Resource Groups (IRGs) create an opportunity for associates to connect with one another around their shared passion for creating an inclusive and equitable workplace for all associates. These groups provide professional development, support the needs of the business and actively engage in community volunteerism.
Through fostering connections across diverse cultures, celebrating individual heritages and championing inclusion, our IRGs contribute to creating a profound sense of belonging among associates. This not only enhances the overall well-being of our workforce but also aligns with our pursuit of maintaining a happy, healthy and inclusive culture. Biannually, each of our IRGs partners with a nonprofit organization that aligns with their strategic priorities and the community they support. The partnership includes programming support, volunteerism and a financial contribution.
Membership is open to all associates who are passionate about the important role belonging plays in our organization.
VS&Co has deep community roots and a shared commitment to creating a healthy and happy world. We connect people to experiences and causes that foster deeper relationships with the brand, and local and global communities to make a measurable and meaningful difference.
