Our Performance Matters

We track our DEI performance regularly. We measure our performance with staff surveys, our Employee Net Promoter Score and by examining employee demographics.

DEI Advisory Council

Our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Advisory Council is made up of employee volunteers and co-chaired by two leaders from our senior management team. Throughout the year the Advisory Council helps identify, prioritize and organize various DEI-themed events, panel discussions, educational resources and training. Committee membership changes every 12 – 18 months to provide an opportunity for more employees to take an active role in advancing the company’s DEI Strategy.
