Henkel Recognized for Workplace Culture and Inclusion
At Henkel North America, supporting our employees is central to our purpose to be Pioneers at heart for the good of generations. It’s why we are excited to be recognized by Forbes as one of America’s Best Large Employers and America’s Dream Employers for 2026, as well as receive the Equality 100 Award: Leader in LGBTQ+ Workplace Inclusion, from the Human Rights Campaign Foundation for the second year in a row as part of its 2026 Corporate Equality Index (CEI). It reflects our deep commitment to building an environment where our employees feel supported and encouraged to grow.
Creating a strong, inclusive culture is the result of the everyday efforts from our people in big and small ways. From access to development opportunities to comprehensive benefits, culture shapes business and the next generation of leaders. It is why we believe in fostering an open environment that encourages people to share ideas and focus on providing meaningful work, ample growth opportunities, and a healthy work-life balance.
People-Centered Culture Drives Success
Each of these honors reflect Henkel’s ongoing commitment to our people and fostering an inclusive culture that empowers every employee to thrive. From leadership and mentorship opportunities to championing fairness, respect, and support for our teams, these achievements reinforce our dedication to creating a workplace where all employees feel valued, respected, and prepared to be future ready.
