As Allied Universal’s Senior Vice President of Global Compensation and Benefits, Kelly Dunmore oversees a unique and complex benefit structure that allows for multiple plans tailored to specific client requirements, union collective bargaining agreements, company policy and regulatory compliance. As Allied Universal has grown in the last two years through nearly two dozen acquisitions, Dunmore is a key player in ensuring employees of acquired businesses have a seamless benefits and pay experience.
While interacting with new hires and new teammates joining the company through an acquisition, Kelly has gained a deeper understanding of how embracing Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) creates a sense of belonging among co-workers that can translate to greater productivity, more innovation and better decision-making. Team performance also improves when employees feel more connected, according to Kelly.
“When you hire people from diverse backgrounds, nationalities and cultures, you bring a fresh array of perspectives to the table,” Kelly said. “I welcome ideas that are different from my own and support my teammates. The creativity that comes with diversity helps my team generate new ideas and improve processes already in place. It can also make work more interesting, engaging and fun.”
Allied Universal provides opportunities for professional development, mentorship, training and growth opportunities for employees from all different communities, backgrounds, identities and cultures. Consider joining our team today.
