Our ERGs present opportunities for employees of diverse backgrounds to practice leadership skills, gain greater visibility throughout the organization, and share personal experiences.

We keep it real and embrace difficult conversations in a constructive way. We believe honesty is best when it comes to all communications. That means no sugarcoating and no elephants in the room. We focus on being respectful but telling the truth.
Why do we win? Why do we lose? How can we do better? Where should we invest? Asking questions, committing to learn more, looking for best practices, that’s the Extreme way. We focus on being smarter than the competition as we believe that higher intelligence drives higher performance.
It’s our company. We have skin in the game. We invest the time and energy to make the changes that get the best outcomes for our customers, shareholders and ourselves. We are accountable.
By challenging dominant voices to listen and non-dominant voices to speak up, we gain valuable perspective that drives better decision making. By fostering diversity regardless of gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age or religion, we get that perspective and make more intelligent decisions that drive better business outcomes.
Each of us has a unique view about what is happening, helping or hurting our performance. We can’t change what we can’t see. We have to know what’s really going on. So we share what we see and what is happening, not assuming others know what we know. We shine a light on it.
