PROMOTING AN INCLUSIVE WORKFORCE

The strongest corporate cultures are ones where diversity is recognized, respected, supported, and celebrated. The Hunt family has always believed that diversity in background leads to diversity in thought and, when leveraged, can greatly enhance decision-making and business performance.

Diversity is critical to a sustainable business

We embrace and encourage our employees’ differences in race, religion, color, national origin, age, gender and gender identity, sexual orientation, marital status, disability, veteran status, and other characteristics that make our employees unique.

As an international company, we have an incredibly diverse global employee base built over many decades. The women and men of Hunt are the reason for our success, and their hard work and contributions will be what move us forward toward even greater success in the future.  

We have developed an intentional focus around “inclusion,” which we have defined as fostering a collaborative, supportive, and respectful environment that increases the participation and contribution of all employees, regardless of individual differences. Said differently, inclusion is all about making sure each individual feels seen, heard, and valued at the company. Hunt views inclusion as the magic ingredient to unlock the potential of our diverse workforce, as well as that of our collaborators, including contractors, neighboring communities, and other stakeholders.

Our workforce is made up of employees of diverse nationalities, of which 21% are women and 79% men. Women hold 21% of supervisor positions.

HUNT ALL IN

Hunt is committed to fostering, cultivating, and preserving a culture of diversity and inclusion. The employees of the global Hunt family of companies are the most valuable asset we have. The collective sum of the individual differences, life experiences, knowledge, innovation, self-expression, unique capabilities, and talent that our employees invest in their work represents a significant part of not only our culture, but our reputation and company’s achievement as well.

Hunt’s diversity initiatives are applicable – but not limited – to our practices and policies on recruitment and selection, compensation and benefits, professional development and training, social and recreational programs and the ongoing development of a work environment built on the premise of gender and diversity equality.

ALL IN TEAM

To create greater awareness on the importance of inclusion and diversity at all levels of the Company, the All IN Team was formed in 2021 made up of 12 diverse employees from across the organization. The All IN Team mission is to foster an intentional and authentic culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion that is consistent with Hunt’s Core Values and empowers our people to embrace each individual’s unique strengths and capabilities, enhance collaboration, spark innovation, and improve business performance. Through its work, the All IN Team:  

  • Raises awareness throughout the organization by designing and implementing inclusive training and development
  • Engages communication through continuous reminders and examples of I&D behaviors
  • Develops and strengthens community partnerships and organizations 
 
 

Think Global - Train Local Effort

For PERU LNG, employee training has been an extremely important activity from the very beginning. Almost three years before the estimated startup date, PERU LNG organized, funded, and implemented an ambitious program to recruit and train the first team of LNG plant operators in South America. This was a firm commitment that required searching for local talent in every corner of Peru and implementing an intense training program. Contrary to industry norms, PERU LNG decided not to recruit a team of international specialists to operate the LNG plant. Instead, it decided to engage in an unprecedented effort to train and set up a team of internationally certified Peruvian technicians to operate the plant.

 
 

All Stars Project

Connecting Kids to the World of Work Hunt participates in the Development School for Youth (DSY), wherein young people ages 16 to 21 learn to perform as professionals, and they partner with business leaders across the country who conduct development workshops and provide paid summer internships at their companies. Despite limitations caused by the pandemic, the Hunt summer intern class of 2021 was the largest since we joined the program. Students worked in various departments across the organization and received development opportunities through our Talent Development coach, as well as mentorship from their supervisors and team members.
