Watts Water Technologies

What Can IoT do For You

Plumbing professionals like to get things done right the first time and we wait until technologies have been proven before installing them in our customers’ homes and buildings. So when it comes time to start adopting new technologies, we carefully consider every angle of leveraging things like connectivity and the Internet of Things (IoT) before moving full steam ahead.

Watts Smart & Connected Solutions

Back in the day, the only way you knew there was a problem with your plumbing and heating systems was
when it failed. Not anymore. Watts Smart and Connected solutions – including digital tools for designing, specifying, and purchasing – are here to help you protect and control your operation. With the Internet of Things (IoT) we can leverage connectivity to be onsite, online, and in touch 24/7, 365.

Awareness & Education

As a company, we are increasing our efforts to educate all employees across the company to better understand race-related issues and foster important conversations around inclusion and diversity through town hall meetings, anti-racism and anti-bias training, and through periodic communications to highlight the voices and stories of underrepresented minorities and to educate our employees on diverse cultures, perspectives, and experiences.

Engagement

We believe that employees who feel included are absorbed in and enthusiastic about their work; they find a greater sense of meaning in what they do, see a stronger connection between themselves and their team members, & bring their authentic selves to work. To better understand our employees’ experiences and views on equity & inclusion at Watts, we have conducted an employee survey focused diversity & inclusion, & are using the results to make Watts an even better place to work for everyone.

Recruiting, Retention, & Advancement

We are enhancing our recruiting efforts by establishing strong relationships with select HCBUs, conducting on-campus recruiting & funding scholarships for talented students to become future employees at Watts. We are strengthening our requirements that a diverse slate of candidates be interviewed & considered for all professional job openings. We are also leveraging our existing leadership development program to create more of a focus on developing & mentoring underrepresented employees.
