TRANSFORMATION. COMMITMENT. ACCESS.
INNOVATION. For Reynolds American Inc. and
its subsidiaries (Reynolds), these are more than
principles, they are a road map. They
represent a forward-thinking investment in the
most critical ingredient of any organization’s
success: its people.
“Whatever your passion is, you will fi nd the
opportunity to learn, grow and make a positive
impact here at Reynolds. The more diverse
our thinking, the bigger the difference we can
make,” says Anna Dolgikh, Reynolds’ senior
vice president & chief human resources and
inclusion offi cer.
Reynolds has prioritized the development of
impactful strategies aimed at solidifying a work
culture in which skill-building, mentorship,
support, and inclusivity permeate the workplace.“We have expanded unconscious-
bias training throughout the organiza-
tion, facilitated diversity and inclusion
dialogue sessions, including with our
leadership team, and doubled our over-
all investment in diversity programs,
offering access to dedicated learning
and development programs for female
and underrepresented employees, as
well as newly recruited or promoted line
managers,” Dolgikh explains.
Supporting employee wellness is
another high-priority for the organiza-
tion. Reynolds has made no-cost health
coaching available, and offers a digital
wellness platform that provides support
for employees dealing with stress, sleep
issues, and mental health concerns.
“We are also fortunate that our
employee resource groups (ERGS)
have implemented support networks
and activities that focus on maintaining
connection and fostering self-care,”
says Dolgikh.
Reynolds navigates an evolving
business landscape by being proactive
in its approach. Playing a leading role
in the transformation of the industry
demands a standard of excellence
that is impossible to meet without a
workforce that is empowered, included
and prepared.
By investing in the development and
success of its people, Reynolds has
created innumerable opportunities for
individuals and for the organization as a
whole to thrive on a global scale.
“Working at Reynolds means you
are working at the forefront of major
transformation in an established in-
dustry,” says Shay Mustafa, senior vice
president, business communications
and sustainability.
And what is the ultimate vision for
Reynolds’ work community?
Says Mustafa: “We aspire to a
culture where employees excel in their
professional and personal ambitions,
where every person is empowered
and recognizes their ability to make an
impact as an agent of change.” ■PROFILE2021 | BEST WORKPLACES IN MANUFACTURING & PRODUCTIONSPONSORED CONTENT FROM REYNOLDS AMERICAN INC.True Leadership
