Welcome to VTS

When VTS announced its plans to return to the office, Dylan Lloyd and his ERG co- lead were concerned about losing the benefit of displaying pronouns easily within digital tools, a simple but meaningful benefit for many colleagues. Soon, they developed an analog strategy — pronoun buttons to wear or display on desks. “We wanted people to still be able to display their preferred pronouns while physically being in the office, and it makes me proud to see them throughout the office when I walk into work,” he said.

As a talent acquisition and DEI leader, Ivette Assis considers the big picture while planning for the future of VTS. Assis and her team are developing both proactive and reactive systems to support the hiring process, leading the way to build a more diverse workforce across the company. Beyond diversity, Assis also contributes to creating and supporting an inclusive environment across VTS with initiatives like unconscious bias trainings, values-based planning and resource guidance for hiring managers. “The company relies on our expertise in the space to make informed and impactful decisions,” she said.
