Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, & Belonging

There is power in differences, and with those differences comes innovation, new ways of thinking, and forward progress. DirectEmployers recognizes the power in these differences, and we’re working to cultivate an inclusive workplace culture that empowers employees to not just work here, but belong here.

Commitment to DEI&B

At DirectEmployers, we recognize cultural differences drive innovation and broaden perspectives. We strive to help employers hire and retain diverse talent by understanding the power of inclusivity. By reinforcing these same principles, we remain committed to removing barriers to employment and creating equitable environments that support a sense of belonging and allow employees to bring their whole selves to work.

Our Employee Resource Group has been a great addition to our company this past year! I’ve loved getting together every month with coworkers and having open, honest conversations, and brainstorming how we can continue to improve our inclusive work environment. My favorite event so far was our dog-friendly office celebration of Disability Pride Month!
