Diversity and Inclusion

Diversity & Inclusion Page

Over the last year, we’ve seen racial injustice, COVID-19 pandemic, political unrest, Australia wildfires, and much more, leaving us with the question “what’s next”? At Joyner, we’ve responded by training our employees and associates how to combat racism to remain an anti-racist company. We’ve also invested in making our services more accessible to all communities around the country. Our Annual Employee Care Report highlights diversity and inclusion data about our employees that we make available upon request to the public. To request a copy of our 2020 Employee Care Report please email hrec@myjoyner.com. At Joyner, we are committed to remaining a company where everyone— no matter their age, sex, gender, race, or sexual orientation feels welcome.

We're all in this together

Diversity & Inclusion remain at the center of everything we do here at Joyner. It’s clear that creating an environment where all employees and associates feel welcome and are treated with the respect and dignity they deserve transcends to our customers and communities we serve. Our commitment to diversity and inclusion is reflected in how we lead as an organization, how we conduct business, and how we manage our relationship with the communities we serve.

“When I think of Diversity, I isolate "Di" and I’m taken back to grade school. "Di" is the meaning of two or double. Once I take into account the complete word Diversity I’m reminded of two words Practice and Quality. The Practice of including everyone, not just some due to race, religion, and or sexual orientation; and the Quality of how people are treated. Inclusion with compassion, understanding, and acceptance. It's crucial that our employees and associates here at Joyner feel respected, accepted-not just tolerated and have a voice that doesn't fall on deaf ears.”

Corporate Leadership

To ensure we put our actions where our mouth is, we’ve restructured  our Human Resources department. Incorporating an Employee Care division whose sole responsibility is the care of Joyner Employees and Associates. Our Operations & Launch has refocused our efforts on accessibility of our products and services to all fighting against discrimination.

Workplace

As an organization, we are a melting pot of different people, with different skills, from different places, different religions, and backgrounds— with one common goal of delivering outstanding service to our customers. Our culture at Joyner allows everyone to be their authentic selves, sharing different perspectives, ideas, and strategies with the common goal of helping Joyner succeed. We promote and provide resources for professional and personal growth.

Community

Community is what we are all about. When questioned why we ask why not? We pride ourselves on giving back to the communities in which we conduct business through our MyCommunity Program. We provide scholarships, grants, volunteer, sponsor non-profits, and much more. Each year every Joyner Employee is provided eight paid MyCommunity hours to volunteer at the community event or non-profit of their choice.

Consumer Market

Joyner is a company that cares. We offer fair transportation & logistic products and services that meet the needs of people right where they are and we promise to continue to do so— both ethically and fairly.

Running a business isn’t easy- it takes hard work, determination, and Constancy. We understand this first hand. We acknowledge that a lot of our successes are powered by the partnership of our third-party contractors and their commitment to Joyner and our customers. We’ve established a diverse network of contractors to help us serve our customers.
