Employee Resource Groups

We believe in fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace where every voice is heard. Our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are voluntary, employee-led groups that bring together individuals with shared characteristics, experiences, or interests. These groups play a vital role in promoting professional development, cultural awareness, and a sense of community within our organization.

Leveraging Diverse Perspectives with Clients and Partners

Just as diversity improves our culture, it also enhances our work and partnerships. Every person brings their expertise and ideas to a project which leads to innovative solutions. We promote diverse participation across the organization for a holistic approach to our work. Each project is an opportunity to help team members achieve their full potential.

What Our Team Members Say

I have personally witnessed supervisors enroll in the "Spanish for Construction" course to be able to better communicate with their crews, I have never seen anything like that while working for other contractors.

Mario Hernandez, Safety Technician II

Interstates offers an environment that has many of the same values as today's US Army. They treat their people like family and coach people to further careers and personal growth.

Troy Sedam, Operations Manager

To pass Interstates to the next generation, we need to leverage the strengths of diversity by creating an inclusive work environment for all. To do so, we need to embark on a DE&I journey and ensure people feel cared for and accepted for who they are.

Danielle Crough, VP of People & Culture

As a biracial woman, the work the Inclusion team has done means a lot to me personally and professionally...I am thankful to all of my fellow team members on the Inclusion team and everyone at Interstates who advocates for a place of belonging for all.

Louise Ozmina, SR. HR Business Partner

Interstates allows me to share my story with fellow veterans and help them find their next career. Not all of them join our family, but they all do gain insight into what it means to be a veteran-friendly organization and what they need to look for in future organizations. I am truly blessed to be part of the Interstates family and to have the opportunity to serve our military veterans!
