2021 Owens Corning Sustainability Report | Expanding Our Social Handprint | Employee Experience | 215 GOING FORWARD As we work toward our 2030 goals, Owens Corning continues to advance our people analytics capabilities, so that we can more accurately monitor and diagnose our performance against our benchmarks. In addition, we have invested in technology that enables us to listen to our employees and provide better experiences for them throughout their careers with us. Through this ongoing investment in both analytics and technology systems, we will be better equipped to scale our learning and career development initiatives, so that all salaried employees will have equitable access to the opportunities for growth that exist within Owens Corning. In addition, Owens Corning will work to improve cultural competence throughout our entire global leadership structure, so that our leaders are able to work and interact with people from different backgrounds in a way that facilitates deeper understanding and better communication. We anticipate that the employee experience of the future will continue to evolve, and our approach to creating a meaningful work environment will evolve accordingly. Our leaders are deeply engaged in exploring what we are learning about increased workplace flexibility, empowering our employees, and what the company needs to do to adapt to evolving employee expectations. To offer an exceptional employee experience, with support for professional and personal development, we will — like many companies — need to consider policies, technologies, and mindsets that support employees’ individual needs. This includes a range of Digital Worker initiatives, through which we are working to build an efficient, cohesive work experience. This idea revolves around the concept of the hub: a digital gathering place where people collaborate synchronously or asynchronously with some fundamental structure. We are building a Talent Center Hub that uses innovative solutions, including a Career Hub concept, that will transform the employee experience for our people.
