BUILDING A BETTER, MORE EQUITABLE, AND

STRONGER WORKFORCE

Miron actively recruits from diverse populations while guided by diversity-focused workforce organizations, namely Urban League of Greater Madison, Latino Academy of Workforce Development, Forward Service Corporation, and WRTP/Big Step, to build a better, more equitable, and stronger workforce.

Change requires making inclusion a daily practice.

Authenticity, grace, listening, slowing down, and being open to learning new ways of seeing and being in the world are all aspects of this practice.

DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION

LEARNING SESSIONS

Through Allyship at Work, Miron employees learn to recognize their privilege and power to create change, and are introduced to more than 50 research-backed steps they can take to show up as allies. Individual activities, real-life stories, group discussions, and videos help participants develop a shared understanding of allyship and prepare to take action in ways that focus impact — and avoid pitfalls like performative allyship or the savior mentality.

CULTURE OF CARE

IMPACT CHAMPION

Miron believes that every individual has the right to a work environment that is free from harassment, hazing, and bullying. We will take action to ensure every employee at our company has the opportunity to reach their full potential by building a culture that is diverse, safe, welcoming, and inclusive.

By taking the Culture of Care pledge, Miron is committing to the following principles:

EMPLOYEE
NETWORKS

Miron engages our Employee Network Groups, incorporating Miron Volunteer Program opportunities, learning from external diversity experts, participating in meaningful allyship work, and taking other steps of progress that will embed accountability for diversity, equity, and inclusion throughout our organization. It takes individual and group efforts to realize and sustain meaningful change.

HABITAT FOR HUMANITY

WOMEN BUILD

We asked members of the Women’s Network to dig deep and consider volunteering for the Greater Fox Cities Area Habitat for Humanity 2022 Women Build. Even though this initiative was new to many and the majority of the volunteers had little construction experience, 25 Miron women rallied together and volunteered over the course of four days to help build a house for Shaunna and her son, Keltin.

Throughout the build days, Miron women completed a wide range of work, forever leaving their mark on the home. They constructed stairs, installed trim, and hung siding, sheet rock, and cabinets.

Soon after the project was completed, Shaunna and Keltin received the keys in time to celebrate their first Christmas in their new home.

EDUCATING THE NEXT GENERATION TO

BUILD LIKE A GIRL

While women comprise a mere 10.9% of the construction industry (with only a staggering 1% of laborers in the field being women), an evolving workforce equates to endless job opportunities and strong salaries for skilled craftspeople.

As a way to educate and build female interest in the construction industry, Miron hosts a FREE, annual event for local 7th through 10th grade female students. This event – “Build Like a Girl” – offers attendees a full day of hands-on experiences as well as an in-depth look at opportunities within the construction industry.
