Employee Inclusion Groups
To further enhance our inclusive workforce culture, we cultivate company-wide Employee Inclusion Groups (EIGs).
Open to all employees, our EIGs are voluntary, employee-led groups that drive impact by supporting the attraction, development and retention of the best talent at all levels. EIGs provide professional and leadership development opportunities, contribute to community engagement initiatives, and support business innovation and corporate best practices. Because of their significant value, we support our EIGs through leadership involvement, work time and space, resources, and executive mentors.
The mission of the People with Disabilities & Caregivers Employee Inclusion Group, ABILITY, is to support and enable employees to fully contribute and reach their full potential in the workplace. The EIG works to challenge the stereotypes and stigma associated with people with disabilities and to expand disability cultural competency throughout the company. We do this by focusing on education, engagement, accessibility, talent enhancement and community involvement in order to drive engagement and performance.
Our commitment to engagement with veterans and military families extends to our workforce. PÕ¾ÊÓƵ's Veterans and Military Families Employee Inclusion Group, CENVET, was established to provide support and resources for employees who have served in the armed forces and for those related to a service member or former service member.
cPRIDE, PÕ¾ÊÓƵ's LGBTQIA+ Employee Inclusion Group, supports an inclusive work environment for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and asexual/aromantic/agender identity employees in order to promote the ability to bring their full selves to work and ultimately enhance employee engagement and retention. The EIG works to provide development, support, and networking opportunities for its members while providing guidance on how PÕ¾ÊÓƵ can be an even greater place for LGBTQIA+ employees to work.
I.N.S.P.I.R.E:ÌýInfluence. Network. Support. Promote. Include. Recognize. Empower.
PÕ¾ÊÓƵ's Women's Employee Inclusion Group aims to further help its members meet their professional and personal goals at all career and life stages. The EIG is focused on leveraging tools such as targeted development sessions, mentoring and community engagement to develop women as leaders and prepare them to take on leadership opportunities at all levels of the company. Members support the recruitment, development, promotion and retention of women leaders and work to keep PÕ¾ÊÓƵ as the employer of choice among professional women.
Reflecting the communities we serve is a vital part of how we embrace our corporate purpose. Our Multicultural Employee Inclusion Group, MOSAIC,Ìý provides peer support for employees of all racial and ethnic backgrounds through networking, mentoring and coaching. It also promotes education and awareness and supports employee engagement and retention.
STAGES: Sharing. Togetherness. Adaptability. Growth. Empathy. Strength.
STAGES, PÕ¾ÊÓƵ’s intergenerational Employee Inclusion Group, works to build connections and community between the five generations who make up PÕ¾ÊÓƵ's workforce. This intergenerational network helps to deepen our sense of belonging and promote diversity of thought, innovation, knowledge-sharing and inclusivity. Every employee is a member of the STAGES community. Strengthening the connections among generations not only helps us strengthen our teams, it helps us connect better with the members we serve.

Executive Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Council
PÕ¾ÊÓƵ's Executive Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Council, launched in 2014, is composed of senior leaders who help guide PÕ¾ÊÓƵ’s culture and practices to enable an equitable and inclusive culture for all, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, religion, sexual orientation, age, ability, military or veteran status, or other lived experiences. Additionally, 20 business units launched DEI councils this year to further progress toward our goals across local business units.
The Executive DEI Council focuses on strategic accountability across our DEI core pillars, ensuring that best-in-class policies and practices drive sustainable results. The council advocates for systematic change that embodies social justice, public policy, equity, and inclusion to ensure employees feel valued and respected.
