Diversity
Every employee is truly a part of our Lakeside Family. It is important to us that every employee feels valued, welcomed, included, and safe when coming to work.
At Lakeside Industries, we believe that leaning into diversity, equity, and inclusion is the key to the future of our company and our industry.
Historically, diverse groups have been underrepresented in the construction industry. We are committed to changing this. To reach our goal of a workplace that reflects the local communities we live and work in, Lakeside is dedicated to expanding, strengthening, and diversifying our workforce.
We value our employees and the positive company culture we have built over the years.
Lakeside is committed to strengthening this with a focus on diversity and inclusion.
When one works here, they are a part of the Lakeside family. It is important to us that every employee feels valued, welcomed, included, and safe when coming to work.
As an effort to continuously improve, we have formed a steering committee focusing on diversity, equity, and inclusion. From hiring and compensation to training and development, we are making strides to address and improve all areas. We are committed to expanding and strengthening the relationships we have worked to build through our efforts. Lakeside has strategically chosen to work with the following organizations to better target the gaps in diversity within the construction industry. These organizations include:
