Elkhart, Ind.-based THOR Industries announced that it has selected Chandria Harris to serve as its Chief People and Inclusion Consultant. In June, Thor reconfirmed its commitment to fostering a more inclusive work environment for all of its employees.
In her role, Harris will be responsible for overseeing the inclusion strategies for THOR’s corporate office, reporting directly to Bob Martin, president and CEO, and Ken Julian, senior vice president of Administration and Human Resources.
The appointment of Harris is a testament to her broadly recognized ability to successfully train and develop professionals, specifically coaching and advising C-Suite Leaders on developing and implementing strategies for an inclusive and diverse workplace, the company said.
“Chandria’s exceptional career has focused on creating a culture for people to be centered, valued, and appreciated for their contributions,” said Martin. “Her experience, combined with her commitment and passion to develop people to perform at their best, while introducing strategies to drive greater inclusion at every level of an organization, makes her uniquely suited for this opportunity.”
“It is my honor and privilege to have received such a distinguished appointment,” said Harris. “I admire THOR’s executive leadership team’s desire to foster a more inclusive work environment for all employees and future employees to come. At the core of inclusion is belonging. My goal is to ensure that the leadership team is equipped with the resources needed to enhance their strategies and best practices for inclusion.”
