At Trinseo, we take a people-first approach to our business.
We recognize that our future success lies in making investments in our employees today. When we attract, engage, develop, and retain a talented pool of employees, we advance the culture of Trinseo and create better communities. In 2022, Trinseo welcomed 493 new hires, including employees coming from the Heathland B.V. acquisition.
As part of our ongoing dedication to developing a diversified recruitment and retention strategy, we welcomed Trinseo’s first Director of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI), Talent & Culture, who will develop the strategy and programs to support our employees in identifying opportunities for improvement and reinforcing those attributes that will allow us to progress further along our transformative journey.
Talent management is a key lever in fulfilling Trinseo’s desire to shape an engaging culture that inspires employee behaviors and performance. Her top priority is developing a three-to-five-year DEI, talent, and culture strategy for the Company that aligns with Trinseo’s 2030 Sustainability and business goals.
