At AAFES, Diversity is not just the right
thing to do; it is a clear business advantage.
MG Keith L. Thurgood, AAFES Commander states, “Our
diversity defines our strengths and creates opportunity for
growth,”
Diversity is an opportunity that has long been an
integral part of the AAFES Mission. In fact, Diversity is so
critical to AAFES’ success that it is incorporated into one
of the five strategic goals – “Build a culture of loyalty,
ownership, sustainability and continuous improvement.”
The nearly 45,000 Associates, from all ethnic and social
backgrounds, are united in providing quality service to 11.5
million customers in more than 30 countries around the
globe.
To successfully navigate an increasingly diverse and global
workplace, AAFES embraces differences and the broad range of
perspectives achieved through Diversity. AAFES Associates
share differences that are physical, such as gender, race,
age, and targeted disability. We also share less visible
distinctions such as culture, personal values, and religious
beliefs. This diversity adds value and strength to our
organization.
In addition to a diverse workforce, AAFES is sensitive to
the needs of our customers. There is no cookie cutter
approach to providing quality goods and services at
competitively low prices when and where they are needed. It
takes an organization that cares to get it right. The value
added to AAFES by Veteran-owned, women-owned and
minority-owned companies cannot be overemphasized. The best
way to meet our customers’ needs is by entering into
business with the very people we serve.
Bottom line; AAFES is committed to being a great
organization that is full of opportunity in “People,
Products and Partnerships.”
