Four Black employees sat down with Phillips 66 Chairman and CEO Greg Garland to have an open dialogue about inclusion and diversity as well as the broader issue of racial injustice.<\/p>\n\n
The conversation, organized by the company’s Black Employee Network, was wide-ranging, candid and emotionally powerful. There was much discussion on leadership representation at Phillips 66, hiring to ensure more diversity at the company, and the emotional toll on the employees from the summer of 2020, when the death of George Floyd led to a painful — and still ongoing — reckoning over racism. <\/p>\n\n
Asked what he would take away from the conversation, Garland was optimistic.<\/p>\n\n
“One word: hope,” he said. “Hope for a better future, hope that the dialogue leads to a stronger, better company and better experience for all of our employees.”<\/p>\n\t\t
