Diversity & Inclusion at ATR

United by Our Differences

 

At ATR, we celebrate diversity by living and breathing it. Our differences shouldn’t set us apart; they should connect us. For that reason, diversity and inclusion lies at the heart of our success. Professionals of different backgrounds bring different ideas to the table, strengthening bonds and spurring innovation. We respect and embrace everyone equally regardless of gender, ethnicity, culture, sexual orientation, physical ability, or any other characteristic. Here, all are welcome.

ATR & The Stevie Awards for Ethics in Sales

Fueled by Our Inclusivity

 

Our employees come from different walks of life. In fact, most of our team members identify as minorities, creating an inclusive environment to our company culture. Gender diversity is a prime example. At ATR, five women excel in senior leadership roles, setting a strong tone for the rest of the organization and providing a strong example for other firms. We believe our differences work to make us a stronger, unified company. ATR thrives because of our diverse team.

ATR’s Role in Supplier Diversity

 

As a woman-led, minority-owned business, ATR has valued diversity since our doors opened in 1988. We’ve progressively matured into the diverse supplier of choice for small and large businesses alike.

Because of our distinctive background and strong relationships in the MBE community, companies choose ATR, again and again, to help them meet their diversity requirements. It’s an initiative we take to heart, striving to do more than merely checking boxes. Together, we make a lasting difference in the lives of others—that’s what makes authentic diversity beautiful.
