CEO Statement on Inclusion and Diversity
At Withum, our values-driven culture allows our team members to show up authentically, fully embracing the power of #OneWithum. Our ability to engage in open and candid conversations across difference allows our people to be empowered by inclusion. This collaboration sparks curiosity, builds trust and creates a more fulfilling work environment.
There is no finish line when it comes to this work. We must continue intentionally leading with empathy and inclusion and embracing our people’s diverse perspectives, experiences and backgrounds. With inclusive, more diverse teams, we can help our clients Be in a Position of StrengthSM, address their most pressing challenges and offer innovative solutions while fostering a workplace where our team members can thrive in their careers. A key driver of our success stems from our Team Member Resource Groups (TMRGs) – catalysts for enhancing our culture and sense of belonging within the Firm. Membership and allyship have created stronger relationships that fuel trust and innovation.
- Our Workforce will continue to be at the center of everything we do. The changing dynamic of the modern-day professional demands that companies invest in cultivating a culture of belonging. We consistently strive for innovative approaches to attract, retain and develop our people. We enable our team members to be driven by purpose and fueled by passion, unlocking their limitless potential for career growth and client impact.
- Our Workplace is only as strong as the people who are in it. We intentionally promote an inclusive environment where our team members can be their authentic selves and have the opportunity to shape what success looks like in their careers. We actively reinforce our core values and I+D priorities through inclusion and diversity experiences, events and educational sessions led by our Team Member Resources Groups.
- Our Marketplace/Communities demand transparency in our efforts to create a more sustainable, enriching and equitable future for all. Our concentrated efforts around strategic sourcing, supplier diversity, and Employer of Choice initiatives align our values and beliefs with the communities we serve.
As I step into this role, I’m committed to holding myself and our leaders fully accountable for engaging in this discipline and living the #WithumWay. We’ve made incredible strides along our journey to strengthen our ability to be seen as an employer and service provider of choice. I encourage my peers to continue to do their part to create a more inclusive, diverse and equitable profession.
