Center diversity group looks to recruit, hire, maintain quality workforce Published July 9, 2010 By Wayne Crenshaw 78th Air Base Wing Public Affairs ROBINS AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. (AFNS) -- Warner Robins Air Logistics Center officials here are taking steps to improve their commitment to diversity. What began as an effort to improve diversity training has led to the creation of a diversity steering group with an even bigger goal. The group's aim is not to implement hiring quotas, but to ensure all people are treated equally in recruitment and hiring, as well as in the workplace itself, said Carl Unholz, the WR-ALC chief of staff. The overall goal is a more effective workforce, he said. "What we need to do is to attract the best and the brightest," Mr. Unholz said. "It doesn't matter where they come from or what their backgrounds or genders are. We want the best and the brightest, so we can provide the best defense for our nation." In addition to attracting new employees, organization officials also want to hear from those already here. The group has started a website accessible through the secure Robins AFB home page by clicking on the "Team Robins" link, then clicking on "Community Sites." The site includes information about diversity, as well as a message board where readers can share their thoughts about the subject. "You've got to create an environment where everyone's ideas are valued and respected," Mr. Unholz said.
