During our May Inclusion Forum on Monday, we were honored to welcome Laura Hutchinson, Alicia Robinson and AJ Conway to lead a discussion about Appearance Bias. Together we learned about how people can experience appearance bias and discrimination in the workplace based on their hair style, body size or shape, tattoos, clothing choices, and even their level of attractiveness. Thanks to Lauren, Alicia and AJ for guiding us through an insightful conversation!

“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” The old saying certainly rings true when it comes to preventing root intrusion in sewer systems. The infiltration of roots in sewer systems can lead to blockages, slow drainage, unpleasant odors and overflow. Oatey Technical Manager Sean Comerford walks through the importance of preventing and removing roots in sewer systems and how to do it.

Earlier this month, Oatey was pleased to sponsor the Skills Ontario Competition for Ontario skilled trades students. With more than 77 competitions across five sectors, it was inspiring to see such a wide variety of skills on display. We were proud to sponsor four competitions in the construction sector – plumbing, steam fitting, heating and refrigeration. We also enjoyed talking to attendees about the awesome careers available in plumbing. Thrilled to partner with another impactful organization to help spread the word about career opportunities in the skilled trades!

Last week, Oatey participated in the Cleveland Guardians STEM Day at Progressive Field in downtown Cleveland! Middle school students from Cleveland-area schools filled Progressive Field to learn about careers in science, technology, engineering, and math, and #TeamOatey was on site to tell them about the awesome opportunities in manufacturing, plumbing and the skilled trades. Students learned about (and installed!) plumbing supply boxes and toilet flanges and saw the magic of Oatey LiquiLock.
