Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Our most valuable resource is our people, which is the focus of our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives. We are dedicated to drawing in, nurturing, and expanding a diverse workforce that reflects a range of identities, experiences, and backgrounds.

Our Strategy

The values of diversity, equity, and inclusion are fundamental to our company culture and strengthen our businesses, neighborhoods, and workforce. In order to satisfy our stakeholders, LGMCORP promotes DEI throughout our portfolio and within our company using a comprehensive strategy. The four main pillars of our DEI approach are growth in talent, community and acceptance, hiring, and responsibility.

Growth in talent

Our goal is to increase the flow of diverse talent into the company at all organizational levels. Our talent growth programming and procedures are infused with the values of equity and inclusion to guarantee that every one of our employees can perform exceptionally well, be acknowledged for their accomplishments, progress, and receive the appropriate compensation. Our staff members are welcome to participate in forums such as our Connection Networks, Early Opportunities Program, and LGM Studying Curriculum to gain more knowledge on subjects like unconscious bias, alliances, and inclusive leadership.

Community and Acceptance

Our goal is to promote an inclusive culture. In this way, we can draw in and keep talent, take advantage of the potential benefits of having a workforce that is diverse, and promote innovation and positive business results. By providing speaking series, professional development opportunities, service opportunities, and mentorship relationships, our connection networks assist in supporting these initiatives by promoting cultural awareness. Our networks work together to support one another's objectives and frequently co-host events that showcase the intersections of our diverse communities.

Hiring

Teams with diversity tend to be more creative and produce better results. Our talent pipelines need to be widened in order to accommodate candidates with a variety of backgrounds, identities, experiences, and skill sets. Our dedication to developing emerging talent pipelines and fostering the development of the next wave of leaders is demonstrated by our Growing Women Leaders and Diverse Managers programs.

Responsibility

ResponsibilityEveryone at LGMCORP has a role to play in creating a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace—not just senior managers or HR. We extend an invitation to all staff members to take part in our connection networks as either participants or allies, encourage leaders to practice inclusive leadership, and conduct high-value recruiting initiatives open to the entire company.

THE LGMCORP APPROACH

Our four-pillar approach is yielding encouraging results. We keep moving closer to our objectives and advocating for social and racial justice in our communities at large.

"

LGMCORP is an inclusive environment. We firmly believe that a wider range of perspectives and a more comprehensive grasp of the world in which we live and operate are facilitated by diversity of backgrounds, including ethnicity, racial background, gender, and sexuality. As leaders, coworkers, staff members, and decent individuals, it is our responsibility to foster an atmosphere of empathy and understanding that both recognizes and appreciates diversity.”

Jake Walter

Director—Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

"

The senior management of LGMCORP and its founders have endeavored to establish a culture of harmony, shared opportunity, and rewards with minimal hierarchy. We cherish and love each and every one of our coworkers, and we celebrate their accomplishments. All Americans must take the latest developments as a call to action and seek to guarantee equality for individuals of color. I promise to heed this call, to listen, to learn, and to act, along with LGMCORP.”

Fostering an environment where
everyone is able to thrive

Our commitment is centered on the Office of inclusiveness and diversity at LGMCORP, which was established in 2017.

Supporting Business Impact Groups, which encourage networking and involve hundreds of employees in productive discussion to improve the company across the board, is one of the office’s main responsibilities. These support groups assist us in strengthening our bonds with one another and gaining a deeper understanding of one another by emphasizing education, awareness, development, and retention.

A recently formed resource group called LGMCORP ADACC (Able & Disabled Advocates Collaborating Collectively) has also been established to assist staff members and clients who have disabilities, as well as their families and teams.

Impacting Transformation

The diversity, equity, and inclusion programs of LGMCORP are a reflection of our unified culture, wherein staff members are always asking one another how they can contribute positively. Our Operating Council and Board of Directors’ diversity sets guidelines from the top, encouraging innovation and assisting us in overcoming obstacles to inclusiveness.

Responsibility at Every Level

We at LGMCORP are steadfast in our dedication to creating a warm atmosphere that will draw in a diverse range of gifted individuals. To that aim, we have implemented certain measures to guarantee that our staff members embody and bear responsibility for fulfilling LGMCORP’s objectives concerning diversity, equity, and inclusion.
