Southwire is proud to announce that it has achieved a spot on the list of Top Diversity Employers by DiversityJobs.com for the fifth year in a row. Southwire is one of only 26 companies in the Manufacturing and R&D category to top the list in 2024.

DiversityJobs promotes diversity and inclusion in the workplace by creating a space for diversity-minded employers to engage the best and brightest diverse talent, and the company’s annual Top Diversity Employers list seeks to recognize organizations that are taking active steps to build a diverse and inclusive workforce.

“It is an honor to be included on this list yet again,” said Jackie Lowery, vice president of talent management for Southwire. “I joined Southwire in 2023, and receiving this recognition not just once or twice, but for five years in a row, demonstrates the reputation we have earned as an inclusive workplace for all of our team members.”

This achievement is made possible through the company’s ongoing diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts and inclusive recruitment practices, which combine to create a work environment where different backgrounds and perspectives support positive relationships and collective success.  

“The integration of inclusion is a critical success factor. Our team members don’t just show up to work at Southwire; they show up to see themselves represented and supported at all levels,” said Sharita Spruill, director of talent acquisition. “We’re proud of the work we have done to foster an environment that values and empowers our team members and communities, because belonging takes all of us.”

Southwire’s six Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) — Women’s Network, Spectrum, Multigen, T.E.A.M., Veterans Network and ALLIED — provide opportunities for team members to connect and drive Southwire’s DEI mission forward. The company’s commitment to DEI is essential to its strategic plan, to create generational sustainability and to promote continued growth in the industry.
