Wynn Resorts has announced the creation of a new Culture and Community Department, to be headed by Corrine Clement, in the wake of the Steve Wynn sexual harassment scandal.
According to an overnight announcement, the Culture and Community Department will support diversity and inclusion, gender equality, fair treatment in the workplace and employee charitable efforts in the community.
“Wynn Resorts gives every employee the same for professional growth and unlimited success,” said CEO Matt Maddox. “Now more than ever we are committed to ensuring equality, creating leaders and giving back to the communities in which we operate. The launch of our Culture and Community Department speaks to this promise and will help us continue to be the industry employer of choice.”
The Culture and Community Department will include a Women’s Leadership Forum, designed to “further close the gender gap in management, provide career growth for female employees at all levels, create pay and title equity and ensure a safe workplace.”
Several focus groups, studies and surveys have been commissioned to pinpoint possible inequities and areas where female employees could be advancing faster, Wynn Resorts revealed. The results will help shape new programs including mentorships, panel discussions and town hall meetings geared towards female employees.
As Vice President of the Culture and Community Department, Clement will oversee the company’s diversity and inclusion efforts while also bolstering leadership development, employee education experiences and community relations.
According to Wynn Resorts’ announcement, Clement has more than 20 years of experience in mobilizing and motivating global employee teams and has been featured as a thought leader in several best-selling books for her successful track record of engaging employees and increasing performance.
She has worked with Wynn Resorts since 2014, serving first as Executive Director of Human Resources for Wynn Palace in Macau where she was responsible for all learning and advancement operations, as well as team member communications. Most recently, she served as Executive Director of Innovation and Creative Development at Wynn Las Vegas.
Before joining Wynn, Clement served in communications, diversity, branding, marketing, partnership development, and human resources capacities at MGM Resorts and was an executive leadership coach and consultant for clients including Coca-Cola NA, the World Series of Poker and the Phoenix Suns. Clement has helped raise millions of dollars from employee giving campaigns for a wide variety of charitable causes.
