Sustainability

Our People

We are dedicated to maintaining a workplace in which our employees can reach their highest potential.

Every day, we work hard to support our employees and their careers. We believe that our commitment to ensuring employee health and safety, nurturing a diverse and inclusive workplace, and investing in our employees’ growth and development help us to attract and retain the most talented individuals in the industry.

Health and Safety

Safety is our top priority. Consistent with Responsible Care, we are committed to maintaining the health and safety of our employees, contractors, visitors, and the communities in which we operate.

We regularly provide employees with environmental, health, and safety training required by federal, state, provincial and local government agencies. We also provide training on internal environmental, health, and safety policies, program, and plans; standard work instructions; and environmental, health, and safety hazards specific to each work area. In addition to complying with health and safety regulatory requirements, we strive to continually identify and develop solutions to eliminate or minimize workplace hazards to protect our employees.

Employee Experience

GATX has been recognized as a great place to work, and we strive to continually raise the bar in this area. This starts by listening to our employees. With an open door culture, excellent visibility to GATX senior management, and a collaborative workforce, we foster an environment where employees feel comfortable speaking up. Through employee engagement surveys and post-survey employee focus groups, we invite employees to tell us what they love about GATX as well as help us find ways to make it an even better place to work.

Diversity and Inclusion

Our commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and creating safe and welcoming spaces for all is an essential part of who we are. We are an equal opportunity employer that respects the unique characteristics of every individual: personalities, lifestyles, thought processes, work experiences, ethnicity, race, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, national origin, disability, veteran status, or other differences. Additionally, our employee-led, executive-sponsored Employee Resource Groups serve as a resource and advocate for employees. ERGs work to promote an understanding of diversity and inclusion across the company, engage our people, and enrich our culture. By cultivating a welcoming, supportive, and inclusive culture, our employees have the opportunity to do their best work and reach their full potential.

Learning and Development

Our employees are experienced, dedicated, and creative individuals from diverse fields. We continually strive to maintain and grow our capabilities to continue building a sustainable competitive advantage in servicing our customers.

Because motivated, satisfied employees create more value for the organization through increased productivity and engagement, career development is fundamental. From the first day on the job, employees work alongside and learn from some of the most talented individuals in the industry. We also encourage employees to take advantage of internal and external learning opportunities to further their growth and career development. GATX invests in our employees’ development through resources such as:

Generous tuition reimbursement program that covers undergraduate course work, graduate programs, and professional certification review courses and exam fees.

Professional development courses covering critical skills that lead to success at GATX such as Communications, Influence, Financial Acumen, Strategic Thinking, Business Acumen, Management and Leadership, among many others.
