Culture & Inclusion

Our Terex Inclusion Strategy

Simply put, we believe it is our responsibility to enable our team members to reach their full potential, no matter their race, gender, age, ability, religion, orientation, identity, or experience. While attracting the best talent is critical, so is creating an environment where our team members can thrive. Our Inclusion strategy begins with a commitment to fostering diversity by recruiting and retaining talent from all backgrounds. Equity is established by ensuring there are fair opportunities, resources, and support for all team members. Inclusion creates a culture where every team member feels safe, supported, and valued. To execute on our strategy, we provide regular DEI(Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) training, developmental webinars, opportunities for team members to connect with each other, and we seek to establish inclusive policies.

Inclusion Starts With “I”

Terex believes that our strength lies in the diversity of our team. We are committed to cultivating an inclusive work environment where the perspectives, ideas, and unique talents of all team members are valued and respected.

Initially hesitant, I seized the chance to lead the Early Talent Affinity Group. Collaborating with Terex team members broadened my skills and connected me with diverse perspectives. Beyond a leadership role, it became a vital professional development opportunity. For those contemplating a group leadership role, I encourage taking the leap and volunteering for our nine fantastic affinity groups, each offering unique growth experiences.

Collin, Genie

I really appreciate the opportunity to co-lead the Parents, Guardians & Caregivers Affinity Group at Terex. Affinity groups give you a chance to network with, share with & learn from colleagues in similar situations while at the same time giving you a glimpse of the diverse situations we face. As a co-lead I enjoy looking for topics, speakers & information to help my colleagues with that all important work-life balance.
