This week, we welcomed 45 talented students from across the U.S. to our 2024 Summer Internship Program! The program provides a 10-week immersive experience designed to enable students to develop a deep understanding of brand functions and lead a project that supports a current business initiative. Interns from 15 universities came together at our Columbus, OH home office for an onboarding breakfast and also had the opportunity to attend a networking and engagement event with leaders from across the business.   Welcome, interns! 💙 We're honored to have you join Gingham Nation and can't wait to see the impact you make!   #GinghamNation #GinghamPride #EarlyTalent #InternshipProgram

This Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage month, meet design director Michiyo Nelson and packaging designer Kenneth Chiem! ❤️ Michiyo, Kenneth and senior perfumer Linda Song began their creative process for their exclusive candle collection by exchanging photos from their childhood growing up in different parts of Asia. They also gathered for meals, reflecting on how food and flavor can create a shared bond. The candle collection features these unique new fragrances: “Ginger & Hinoki”— notes of ginger, Hinoki wood and orange zest “Bamboo & Eucalyptus”— notes of bamboo, watery eucalyptus and garden lime “Cherry Blossom Soju”— notes of bright cherry blossom, jasmine and a splash of soju “Roasted Sesame”—notes of sesame, toasted hazelnut and sweet maple “We all had a diverse background, but we could really connect through meals that we loved and grew up with,” said design director Michiyo Nelson. “It’s exciting to know that this project was a celebration of our community. I received so much support from everyone involved,” said senior designer Kenneth Chiem. The Bath & Body Works Foundation continues its support of the American Chemical Society (ACS) Scholars Program and the ACS Office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Respect’s mission. Our three-year partnership began in 2023 and the Bath & Body Works Foundation has donated a total of $200,000 to help open doors for the next generation of leaders in chemistry-related fields, like perfumers, and more.

We recently recognized several outstanding associates for their dedication to creating, promoting, and nurturing inclusion in the workplace during our first-ever Inclusion Excellence Awards! The awards were presented at our inaugural Inclusion Day Jamboree where associates came together to celebrate diverse backgrounds, perspectives and values through engaging workshops, activities, recognition, music and food. “We believe a culture where everyone feels a sense of belonging, has a chance to be heard and is valued and treated with respect makes us a smarter, stronger brand,” says Kelie Charles, Chief Diversity Officer. “This culture of belonging starts with our own associates and it’s important to recognize the outstanding work which supports and advances those efforts." Congratulations to all honorees! Thank you for making Bath & Body Works a place where everyone belongs. 💙 Read more: https://lnkd.in/e75FRT4z #GinghamPride #GinghamNation #EveryoneBelongs
