Why should the United States Postal Service embrace diversity, equity and inclusion?

"I fully support diversity and inclusion in the workplace and believe there are incredible benefits to a workplace built on equality. First and foremost, equality and inclusion should always be considered fundamental human rights. I know I will be working with a diverse team and serving a very diverse population here in this city. By supporting the diversity and inclusion efforts of the USPS, I will bring new perspectives, help increase the diversity of your talent pool, and positively add to your already innovative team."

Before your interview, read the USPS's diversity, equity, and inclusion statement on their website. As you do, you'll see that women make up over 46% of their workforce, and people of color make up over 51% of their entire team. A company like the United States Postal Service that embraces diversity and inclusion efforts creates a cohesive work environment with higher morale, better productivity, and less turnover. If you've worked in culturally diverse environments, discuss the positives you took from those them.

"This region is a cultural melting pot, and the USPS needs to represent the overall population that you serve. I'm proud to say that I would join your team with bilingual skills in both English and Spanish, which I know will be critical in this role. Inclusion is essential to emphasize because unconscious biases exist among everyone."
