Questions answered by Matt Sluter
What three words best describe your staff? Collaborative, driven, family.
What modifications have you made to your workplace to support employee wellness? We have unlimited paid time off and encourage employees to use it. At the start of the pandemic, we added a Peloton to our corporate fitness center. This allowed employees to set up accounts where they can access the content anywhere.
What role do diversity and inclusion play in your hiring and promotion decisions? We are steadfast in our commitment to create a more diverse and inclusive workspace. Our anti-racism, diversity, equity and inclusion strategy is focused on four pillars: talent, education, culture, service. In an industry with only 10% women, the NEC team is made up of 30% women.
What was a new employee benefit(s) or initiative(s) in the past 12 months? In 2020, we piloted an unlimited PTO policy. We officially adopted this policy for 2021. Flexible work arrangements have been fully implemented across the organization and we will continue our commitment to flexibility when it comes to work-life integration.
