We Promote an Inclusive Environment
►
►
►
Page 24
Inclusiveness is about creating a climate where diversity is valued.
Each person is recognized, developed and their talents are
routinely tapped and leveraged in service of the firm’s goals.
In an inclusive organization,
people are valued because of,
not in spite of, their differences.
Bottom Line
►
Diversity is about our people.
►
►
►
Diversity of gender, ethnicity, and orientation.
Diversity of thought – values, life experiences, educational
background, family life, and many more.
Inclusiveness is about our environment.
►
►
Page 25
It’s about ALL of our people.
It’s about relating and connecting with others who are similar and
unique in comparison to your perspective.
Get into Inclusiveness
From the day you walk in, you become a valued and
respected member of an organization that:
►
Recognizes you as an individual
►
►
►
►
Has a strategic focus on inclusiveness at the top and throughout all
levels of the organization

The Facts of Flexibility
Right from day one we recognize that you’re juggling your
career and your life outside of work.

Managing your personal and professional commitments
are important
Flexibility is a two-way street
Flexibility is not about working fewer hours, it is about
working differently
Our teaming culture helps you navigate these issues
We provide great policies and programs to help you
manage your busy life
Communication and trust are key
