K-C Employee Resource Groups
Inclusion is much more than a thought or concept. It’s the culmination of daily interactions that makes us stronger, fuels our innovation, and deeply connects us to each other and our consumers.
At K-C, you have an opportunity to join one of our many Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) that foster professional development and social connectivity, and celebrate diversity throughout the company. Explore these volunteer associations, which are open to all K-C employees.
