Visteon values diversity and everything it embodies. For Visteon, diversity represents an environment of open communication where contributions of all employees are valued. The cornerstone to establishing a diverse business is built on the foundation of inclusion, respect, acceptance and learning. The attributes that make us unique individuals – culture, ethnicity, race, gender, age, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, disability, nationality, education, life experience and beliefs – allow us to provide each other with insights that may not otherwise be realized. As a multi-cultural organization, Visteon embraces human differences and harnesses its power to create a competitive edge. These continued actions and experiences have shaped Visteon into a positive and nurturing business environment.

Visteon's global mission for diversity is to provide a business environment that:
  • Maximizes the benefits derived from a diverse workforce

  • Promotes a culture that encourages every individual to contribute to the success of the business

  • Values the differences in the background and skills of individuals

There is a strong business case for organizations that appreciate and manage diversity. It is based on demographic changes in the workforce and a global customer base. Additionally, diverse organizations gain the opportunity to benefit from the advantages of improved talent retention and increased productivity.

All individuals can benefit by working in a more inclusive environment. Improved personal effectiveness and motivation offers greater satisfaction with work and accomplishments. Valuing diversity also creates better working relationships with suppliers, customers and communities. We know that sharing diverse perspectives results in new idea generation and, ultimately, a top-notch product.

Visteon will succeed through the full engagement of the diverse talents of all its employees. Visteon's diversity mission is supported by our Employee Resource Groups and a commitment to Work/Life Balance

Employment
Diversity in the workplace includes embracing all differences that define each of us as unique individuals. These differences include culture, ethnicity, race, gender, age, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, disability, nationality, education, experience and beliefs. These are just some of the distinctions that each individual brings to the workplace – and contributes to one's own unique individuality. Visteon embraces an inclusive work environment – where open communication and honest dialogue exist and the contributions of all employees are valued; where equal opportunity and non-discrimination are held in high esteem. By valuing diversity, both individuals and organizations are better equipped to meet the challenges presented by global competition. Through a succinct an emphasis on understanding, valuing and leveraging differences, Visteon can work to create a direct link to its ability to compete effectively in an ever-changing marketplace.
