Diversity & Inclusion

Our Diversity Vision

To be a company that embraces diversity, is inclusive, and thrives on learning so that our employees feel respected and invited to contribute to the success of our company, clients, suppliers and communities.

We value diversity because it is the key to building a culture that enables our employees to collaborate and generate innovative ideas for our customers.

We are Many Diverse Voices of Betterment

Read Letter from our Chair & CEO
“Our people should always be able to bring their ‘whole selves’ to work without fear of rejection, stigma or ridicule. It’s not risky to be yourself at D&Z, and our people know that and live it. Not only do I want employees to be themselves, but I also encourage everyone to share what truly makes them unique. Being able to effectively collaborate and provoke meaningful dialogue in an inclusive environment has set a foundation at our company for greater things”

Advancing Diversity and Inclusion

Learn how America’s largest employers – including D&Z—are making diversity and inclusion a top priority. More than 120 CEOs of top U.S. companies shared stories and successful business practices that are expanding job and growth opportunities for people of all backgrounds, both within their organizations as well as through their supply chains and the communities they work in.

Opening Doors to Teamwork and Collaboration

We are an inclusive company that embraces diversity in everything we do. At D&Z, fostering diversity helps build a culture that enables our employees to collaborate and generate their best ideas. We also believe that diversity is a key factor for employees at every level of our organization to feel empowered to do their best work.

To help us achieve this goal, we have embraced the concepts in the book Opening Doors to Teamwork & Collaboration: 4 Keys That Change Everything and have integrated this framework into our work environment.
