Our Beliefs and Values
We seek out people who believe effort makes us more capable, smarter and stronger. We recruit people who, like a swift river, possess great amounts of energy. Not just a sign on a wall in our offices, but embedded in the way we hire, engage, retain and recognize. Culture refers to the shared beliefs, values, customs and behaviors in an organization. DAXX has purposely built a culture that believes a growth mindset sees gaps in our skills as chances for improvement. We are a company of life-long learners and we apply new thinking and skills to all of our endeavors. DAXX believes prioritizing a growth mindset for our employees will benefit our customers, our stakeholders and our communities.
Diversity and Inclusion: It’s in our DNA.
DAXX champions diversity and inclusion; essential for companies competing in the modern global marketplace. Some companies just check the box for Diversity & Inclusion — others build it.
As a minority-owned company, DAXX inherently understands the power in Diversity & Inclusion. It is a defining element of our culture and a driving force behind what makes us successful.
DAXX doesn’t just employ diverse thinking; we seek it out in our business relationships around the world. Being a multinational organization provides opportunities to integrate country-level beliefs and values into our every-day business practices.
DAXX encourages and promotes D & I in procurement and supply chain because we know it cultivates innovation as well as sustainable supplies for world commerce. That’s why we actively pursue partnerships with vendors and customers that can identify inclusive procurement programs.
We are a proud member of the National Minority Supplier Diversity Council.
