For Jennie Meeker, it\u2019s a place where you can bring your authentic self to work, contribute to something meaningful, and feel supported by your team. That vision is the foundation of the culture Jennie is helping to build at IFF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the Head of Regulatory Business Operations for Global Regulatory Affairs, Jennie leads a team that ensures our systems and processes run smoothly to deliver safe and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iff.com\/es\/science\/innovations\/\">innovative solutions<\/a> to the market. However, beyond her day-to-day responsibilities, her story at IFF is deeply tied to a much larger mission: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iff.com\/es\/careers\/culture-inclusion\/\">creating a workplace where everyone feels valued, empowered, and celebrated for who they are<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u201cIt\u2019s my mission to create a workplace where everyone feels valued, empowered, and celebrated for who they are.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This mission inspired Jennie to co-found and co-lead the colleague community AccessAbilities. It\u2019s an employee resource group focused on fostering a workplace where colleagues with disabilities, caregivers, and allies feel valued, supported, and heard. We asked Jennie where her passion comes from, why she believes AccessAbilities can make a change, what she hopes to achieve, and why you should <a href=\"https:\/\/iff.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com\/IFF_Careers\">join IFF<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_88 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseprofile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iff.com\/es\/media\/stories\/building-an-inclusive-workplace-for-everyone\/#My_Journey_And_Advocacy_For_Inclusive_Workplaces\" >My Journey And Advocacy For Inclusive Workplaces<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iff.com\/es\/media\/stories\/building-an-inclusive-workplace-for-everyone\/#Bringing_AccessAbilities_To_Life\" >Bringing AccessAbilities To Life<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iff.com\/es\/media\/stories\/building-an-inclusive-workplace-for-everyone\/#The_Road_Ahead\" >The Road Ahead<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iff.com\/es\/media\/stories\/building-an-inclusive-workplace-for-everyone\/#Why_You_Should_Consider_a_Career_At_IFF\" >Why You Should Consider a Career At IFF<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"My_Journey_And_Advocacy_For_Inclusive_Workplaces\"><\/span><strong>My Journey And Advocacy For Inclusive Workplaces<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"821\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Headshot-Jennie-Meeker-821x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17621\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1;object-fit:cover;width:394px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Headshot-Jennie-Meeker-821x1024.jpg 821w, https:\/\/www.iff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Headshot-Jennie-Meeker-241x300.jpg 241w, https:\/\/www.iff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Headshot-Jennie-Meeker-768x958.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.iff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Headshot-Jennie-Meeker-160x200.jpg 160w, https:\/\/www.iff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Headshot-Jennie-Meeker.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 821px) 100vw, 821px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Working while managing a disability or being a caregiver brings unique challenges. It is a constant balancing act that affects every aspect of life, from professional responsibilities to personal well-being. I know this firsthand. When my son was diagnosed with neurodevelopmental conditions, my world changed overnight. The practical challenges were intense, but the mental and emotional weight was even more significant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having a disability or being a caregiver while maintaining a career requires more than just simple time management. It demands a high level of adaptability, resilience, and problem-solving. Every day brings decisions that others might never have to think about. There are days when work deadlines and medical appointments clash, and other days when a school call in the middle of a meeting throws everything off balance. In those moments, the pressure to be fully present in every role feels almost impossible. It can be isolating to exist in a world that doesn\u2019t always recognize or accommodate these realities. The systems in place rarely make it easy, but even more than that, the social expectations can feel unrelenting. There is an invisible expectation to push through without showing the struggle, to keep up without asking for adjustments, to prove that you belong in spaces that were not built with you in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><strong>\u201cI\u2019ve learned that inclusion is about creating an environment where people feel empowered to share their challenges without fear of judgment.\u201d<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s why I\u2019ve made it my mission to advocate for others in similar situations. I want to help make workplaces genuinely inclusive. I\u2019ve learned that inclusion is about creating an environment where people feel empowered to share their challenges without fear of judgment. One of the most significant obstacles to inclusion is stigma. Employees with visible or invisible disabilities such as neurodiversity, chronic illness, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iff.com\/es\/health-sciences\/womens-mood-and-mental-health-infographic\/\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"43\">mental health<\/a> conditions often feel hesitant to share their challenges. They worry they will be seen as less capable or face judgment. This silence can isolate individuals and hold back organizations from the potential these employees bring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And that\u2019s the thing: the disabled community is a massive, untapped well of talent. Globally, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/development\/desa\/disabilities\/resources\/factsheet-on-persons-with-disabilities.html\">15% of the population has a disability<\/a>, yet many workplaces still fall short in creating accessible and empowering environments, which keeps so many from reaching their full potential. We can break these barriers, but it requires more than checking boxes or setting targets. It requires us to listen, learn, and reimagine the systems and structures to see what inclusion truly looks like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Employee-in-wheelchair-examining-brewing-results-2-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17668\" style=\"width:358px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Employee-in-wheelchair-examining-brewing-results-2-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.iff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Employee-in-wheelchair-examining-brewing-results-2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.iff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Employee-in-wheelchair-examining-brewing-results-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.iff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Employee-in-wheelchair-examining-brewing-results-2-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.iff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Employee-in-wheelchair-examining-brewing-results-2-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.iff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Employee-in-wheelchair-examining-brewing-results-2-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.iff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Employee-in-wheelchair-examining-brewing-results-2-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.iff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Employee-in-wheelchair-examining-brewing-results-2.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My hope is to help create a world where someone like my son can pursue their dreams without being held back by unnecessary barriers or outdated perceptions. I want workplaces to embrace flexibility and understanding as fundamental values. Flexibility changes how employees with unique challenges can balance their personal and professional lives. For me, it means being able to adjust my schedule so I can put my kids on the school bus in the morning or be there to greet them at the end of the day. This support has allowed me to be fully present at home and in my career, creating the space to succeed in both. When companies provide this kind of understanding, they unlock the potential of their employees and create an environment where everyone can thrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I believe in the importance of speaking up and sharing our experiences. Whether someone is managing a disability, caring for someone else, or seeking to understand the challenges others face, their voice can stimulate change. By opening up and listening to one another, we create workplaces and communities rooted in empathy and support. Together, we can build a future where everyone feels empowered to contribute and succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bringing_AccessAbilities_To_Life\"><\/span><strong>Bringing AccessAbilities To Life<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s why we launched AccessAbilities in November 2021 to create a space where employees with disabilities, caregivers, and allies could connect, share experiences, and drive meaningful change. Co-leading this initiative has been one of the most meaningful parts of my career. Working alongside a dedicated team of colleagues, we have turned this community into a force for transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><strong>\u201cWhat makes AccessAbilities truly special to me is how employee-driven it is.

We have hosted training sessions to help colleagues better support those with visible and invisible disabilities. We have reviewed internal policies to identify areas where accessibility and accommodations can be improved, resulting in the Global Reasonable Accommodations policy, which ensures every employee, anywhere in the world, can ask for the support they need. Through partnerships with other employee resource groups, we have explored the intersectionality of disability with race, gender, and mental health. We hosted a mental health series with thousands of our colleagues attending, showing how vital these conversations are. By fostering dialogue across regions, we have challenged cultural perceptions and encouraged a better understanding of disability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What makes AccessAbilities truly special to me is how employee-driven it is.
