People Are Our Priority
At Dollar Tree, Inc., our primary goal is to build a diverse and inclusive workforce where our individual differences are respected and appreciated. We also believe in implementing policies and partnering with organizations and vendors that ensure equitable and ethical treatment and support of all people. We’ve established a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Executive Council, comprised of a diverse group of senior leaders from each division of the company, to advocate for strategies that promote and embrace diversity, ensure fair treatment, and enable everyone to feel welcome and have equal access to opportunities and resources. Our DEI Executive Council works to build and maintain an inclusive environment at Dollar Tree, Inc. and in the communities we serve through our Allyship Guide and representing employee resource groups, such as the Champions of Women and Pride, that work together to help our employees and their allies better support one another.
Associate DEI Training and Education
Dollar Tree, Inc. is providing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion training for employees that promotes an open, company-wide conversation about systemic racism, unconscious biases, and preventing racial profiling. We also reinforce our DEI values through posters, live presentations, and educational materials such as our Allyship Guide that educates associates on racism, helping them identify ways to take action and understand what it truly means to be an ally to underrepresented groups.
Partnering with Historically Black Colleges & Universities
Dollar Tree, Inc. has partnered with local Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to provide scholarships, internships, and on-campus events to create awareness of career opportunities within our organization. We aim to showcase our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives and increase diversity in our talent network.
Our Associates Embrace and Celebrate Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
Dollar Tree, Inc. Celebrates Pride Month
The Company celebrated the LGBTQ+ community on June 22 at the SSC. Associates wore ribbons and Pride colors, and booths were set up by local organizations for associates to visit and learn more about the important services they provide to the LGBTQ+ community. SSC associates also presented a panel discussion to share their experiences and allyship of the LGBTQ+ community to increase awareness and understanding of the community in the workplace.
“I Have a Dream” Celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Our Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) Executive Council hosted the celebration on January 17. A free continental breakfast was provided for SSC and Distribution Center 1 associates and five showings of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s famous “I Have a Dream” and “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop” speeches were shown in the SSC auditorium where associates had the opportunity to view the iconic speeches based on their schedules.
International Women's Day Celebration
We observed International Women's Day on March 8 celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. This year’s campaign theme was #BreaktheBias focusing on breaking the bias in our communities and workplaces by recognizing gender bias, discrimination, and stereotyping every time we see it. Associates wore ribbons and the color purple, and attended a Rock Stars of Retail Roundtable Discussion where female associates discussed their careers and achievements.
