The Mix matters

We've developed IDEA (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Access) initiatives that include Associates worldwide. Each day, they help to define and implement important Company actions in this space that reflect Shure's Core Values.

Shure began in 1925. The world was much different then, but one thing has remained constant through the vision of our founder, S.N. Shure – the appreciation for diversity and inclusion.

What was once a small, downtown Chicago company has expanded to a global presence with associates from different backgrounds and cultures. Our Customers also reflect this diversity as our presence touches every part of the world.

We embrace diversity and inclusion efforts. We now feature four employee “Associate Resource Groups” we call VIBEs—Values, Inclusion, Belonging, and Equity. These VIBEs represent different Associate communities and their allies:

• CARE – Cultural And Racial Equity
• Pride – LGBTQIA+
• WE – Women Everywhere
• Ability – Diverse Abilities

We have expanded these VIBEs regionally to Shure office locations worldwide.

The VIBEs help all of our global Associates in several ways. These include holding panel discussions about relevant topics today, informational campaigns about cultural holidays and observances, involvement in local community activities, and input on relevant marketing and communications.

However, the most important thing the VIBEs accomplish is providing a space for any associate to feel heard and supported.

We thank our VIBE leaders, supporters, members and volunteers for making Shure a more inclusive workplace.

Diversity, whether from tech, music, audio, finance, manufacturing, or beyond, is essential at Shure. We also embrace diversity daily in our workplace because it helps us better understand our diverse global customers, who include television and movie studios, educational institutions, musicians and concert venues, houses of worship, content creators, and individuals who love their music.

Our global VIBEs centre on women, LGBTQIA+, cultural and racial equity, and people with diverse abilities. These affinity groups continue to guide how we think about policies, observances, and other changes our Associates would like to see at Shure.

At Shure, we’re committed to improving Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Access in our workplace. We recognise and honour the cultural diversity that our Associates, customers, suppliers, and community bring to our Company every day of the year.

Shure is proud to celebrate the history and contributions of people of Latin and Hispanic heritage during National Hispanic and Latino Heritage Month.

All year long, our Company remains committed to lifting up Hispanic and Latino communities through dedicated philanthropic efforts. We strive to make a meaningful impact by supporting the unique challenges of these groups and offering opportunities for growth, development, and empowerment.

We partner with organizations focused on enabling Latina women as they work to establish careers in audio and music. Like Volver a Soñar, which uses music to improve the quality of life for people by promoting culture, education, and technology. Ella Suena is an international movement that amplifies women’s voices in music and encourages gender equality.

DID YOU KNOW?

Many of the products used by artists and businesses worldwide are proudly assembled by our talented Associates in Juárez, Mexico.

Inside Shure, we routinely share stories and experiences from Associates around the world, including Associates based in Mexico, Brazil, and Spain, so we can learn from each other. We engage with Associates in a number of ways, including:

• Spotlights on our Associates and facilities around the world
• Information about Independence Day holidays from Hispanic countries
• Corporate partnerships with organizations committed to supporting Latinos
• Highlights of our collaborations with Hispanic artists
• An Associate-curated cookbook with recipes from around the world

Shure is committed to improving Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Access in our workplace. And we recognize and honor the cultural diversity that our Associates, customers, suppliers, and community bring to our Company every day.
