14-11-2024 | How This Clorox Teammate Is Building Bridges Across Generations

NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESS WIRE / November 14, 2024 / The Clorox Company:

The Clorox Change Makers initiative spotlights people who actively celebrate diversity, promote inclusivity and practice allyship, making a positive impact on our company and culture.

In this episode, we focus on Danielle Chan, a senior analyst on our Burt’s Bees sales team. Danielle was nominated by McKenna Knapp, an associate manager of capabilities who is also on our sales team. We spoke with them to learn more about what Danielle’s alliance looks like in action.

Why did you nominate Danielle as a Change Maker? What makes her an ally?

McKenna: I nominated Danielle as a Change Maker for her outstanding leadership in the NextGen organization, where she continually thinks about ways to develop and showcase young professionals within the company. She has led the team to a successful launch of year two of the Reverse Mentorship Program, which is changing the way young people are seen in the organization and reminding leaders of the importance of listening to young voices.

How has Danielle’s alliance impacted you and others at Clorox?

McKenna: Danielle’s alliance has had a significant impact at Clorox by creating a culture where young professionals feel empowered to use their voices. Her support has strengthened our community and encouraged collaboration and innovation at all levels. The Reverse Mentorship Program has helped us build meaningful relationships and bridge the generational gap in our workforce.

What does IDEA, and specifically the alliance, mean to you?

Danielle: To me, IDEA means building a diverse and inclusive workplace by encouraging everyone around you to share their opinions and perspectives, regardless of their level.

Alliance is critical to our IDEA strategy. By being an ally, you make those around you feel supported and valued, and you really give them the opportunity to make their voices heard. The more connected and supported we feel, the easier it is for us to bring our true selves to work and create inclusive environments both inside and outside of work.

What tips do you have for others to practice allyship in their daily lives?

Danielle: One of the first steps to being an ally and putting allyship into practice is to listen and really try to understand the people around you. Next, it’s important to take action by following through on your commitment to creating a safe and inclusive environment.

You can reach out to the people around you, give them the opportunity to share their perspectives and help create safe spaces for them. Doing this will help them feel respected and like they can really make a difference.

To live out our purpose and values, we must build a workplace where everyone can feel respected, valued, and participate fully in our Clorox community. We strive to lead by example, at every level within the company, and continually challenge ourselves to do better. Learn more about our inclusivity and diversity efforts here.
