PLZ Corp is committed to continuing to make diversity and inclusion part of everything we do. D&I plays a crucial role in shaping our experiences. It helps us provide insight into everyone's needs and motivations within and outside of our organization. It helps us learn, grow, and thrive as a community.
Our goal at PLZ is to foster an inclusive sense of individuality. We aim to create an environment where everyone can feel safe to bring their authentic selves, ideas, and passions regardless of race, gender, age, religion, or identity. By working together, we can ensure every voice is heard, every employee is valued and every individual reaches their full potential.

PLZ Corp
Our efforts are to continue working on six key areas not only within our organization, but even more importantly, the communities we live in and share daily.
"I was raised by my Caucasian Mother and an African-American Father. Because I am bi-racial, I have both experienced and learned about the pain and victories of both. We all cry the same tears and laugh with the same joy. Therefore, we should all be treated equally."
"A more diverse and inclusive workplace can improve all of our experiences in and out of our work. A deeper understanding and appreciation of different cultures, ideologies and life experiences can make for a safer and more enjoyable PLZ."
"Equality and open-mindedness have always been a part of my life. I tried to teach my children to be compassionate to everyone, but inclusion goes beyond compassion. I want to work in a culture that actively encourages participation and understanding of all people. I want every employee and customer to feel invited and safe when at PLZ."
"Diversity, equity and inclusion are essential to humanity and key factors in its progress. Fostering these initiatives allows me to learn from and be empathetic toward other cultures. I recognize, respect, and celebrate the similarities and differences of the people I meet, whether it is through their life experiences, beliefs, music, gastronomy, or any of the things that make us unique."
