Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
A workplace that works for everyone
Building a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workforce equips us to thrive now and in the future. Our efforts in fostering DEI throughout the organization are constantly evolving.
Our commitment to DEI starts at the top of our organization: the Board of Directors and our president and CEO, who oversee our DEI initiatives.
Our president and CEO sponsors our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Council. The DEI Council is self-governed by employees and represents the diversity of our employee population, including employees who identify as racially diverse and LGBTQ+.
FOSTERING A SAFE, WELCOME WORKPLACE
Through our commitment to fostering a fair, safe, and welcoming workplace environment for all, we aim to maintain a culture that enables our employees to be their best in serving our customers and communities while achieving business success.
To strengthen our DEI commitment, we identified a DEI officer to lead the organization’s DEI efforts and expand its diverse talent pipelines to shape an environment where diverse voices and backgrounds continue to be welcomed and heard. In 2023, we completed a full-scope review of our recruiting process with an external consultant to determine whether employment applicants included diverse pools of candidates; the review had no major improvement suggestions. In addition, we expanded our partnerships with organizations to support us in building a diverse recruiting pipeline and saw a 6% increase in the number of diverse applicants (i.e., nonwhite, veteran and/or people with a disability) over the last year.
