At J W Winco, we believe… “A company that employs a diverse workforce (both men and women, different generations, people with disabilities, people from different ethnic, religious and racially diverse backgrounds, sexual orientations, etc.) is better able to understand the demographics of the marketplace it serves and is better equipped to thrive in that marketplace than a company that has a more limited range of employee demographics.” ~ Mark Winkler CFO, Office of the President Overcoming Diversity 37
