COX PEOPLE
DIVERSITY & INCLUSION
AT COX: A Business and
Social Imperative
Cox’s goal is to create a sustainable culture of
diversity and inclusion (D&I) where all employees
are valued and empowered to achieve business
results. D&I is the foundation of transformative
business performance and is a journey of
continuous improvement. For example, we’re
adjusting to the evolving relationship and
approach to work that younger generations are
bringing to Cox companies. Millennials and
Gen Z represent the most diverse generations
entering our workforce in our nation’s history.
They bring fresh ideas and new perspectives
that are greatly influenced by technology.
We know that teams that value and leverage
different perspectives outperform their less
diverse peers. Going forward, a diverse
employee base allows us to better anticipate

and serve the evolving needs of our customers
including designing new product solutions,
understanding how to connect to new
demographic segments, developing effective
marketing campaigns and interacting with
customers face-to-face and virtually.
