Company also appoints first Chief Diversity
Officer, Ken Peterson
ScanSource, Inc. (Nasdaq: SCSC), a leading provider of
technology products and solutions, today announced the creation of
its comprehensive Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) program, and
the appointment of Ken Peterson, Senior Director of Human
Resources, to the additional role of Chief Diversity Officer.
ScanSource was built on the foundation of seven core values, one
being the commitment to an environment that respects and values the
diverse backgrounds, interests and talents of the company’s
employees. ScanSource’s dedicated D&I program reaffirms this
commitment.
A key component of this program is the creation of an Advisory
Council, which will be an employee-led group focused on sharing
insights, ideas, and opinions from employees as to how to most
effectively implement diversity and inclusion strategies within the
company. As Chief Diversity Officer, Mr. Peterson will provide
oversight to this group. In addition, in this new role, Mr.
Peterson will develop programs, training, and events that support
and cultivate a diverse and inclusive workplace. He will also
support talent acquisition and recruitment efforts in support of
the company’s D&I program. Mr. Peterson will also be
communicating with ScanSource’s partner and supplier communities to
listen and gain feedback, helping to ensure the company is serving
as a good partner in regards to its D&I efforts.
“We are living in a defining time in history, and now is the
time for all of us – especially leaders – to listen, learn, and
most importantly, act,” said Mike Baur, Chairman and CEO,
ScanSource, Inc. “We created an open dialogue with our employees so
they can share their personal thoughts, experiences, and insight as
we look to build out our D&I program. The knowledge Ken will
bring to his new role as Chief Diversity Officer will be
invaluable. Ken’s expertise in the areas of D&I leadership,
paired with his insight into ScanSource culture, business, and
communities will be integral to providing the structure and
knowledge needed to create lasting impact for ScanSource, both
inside and outside the company.”
Mr. Peterson joined ScanSource in 2017. In his current role, he
manages the Human Resources function for several ScanSource
acquisitions in the US, as well as warehouses, and the company’s
Learning and Development program for North America employees,
through which he will be delivering training for team members,
helping to establish a common language and foundation regarding
diversity and inclusion. Prior to joining ScanSource, Mr. Peterson
was instrumental in building programs to support a more inclusive
workforce, including the development of strategic diversity
plans.
By having a dedicated leader and Advisory Council, ScanSource’s
goal is to bring D&I to the forefront of how the company
empowers employees and partners, conducts everyday business, and
grows as a company.
