NFP Response
4yWe appreciate you providing us a review as we take feedback and comments like these seriously. We have worked hard to take tremendous strides to become a more diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace where everyone feels they belong as well as providing the support our employees and their families need through our time off and health and welfare benefit offerings.
Our Diversity Board and Business Resource Groups that launched in 2018 is made up of employees at all levels or our company and include our CEO, Chief D&I Officer, CHRO and Head of Procurement. In partnership with our NFP employees, they have helped spearhead initiatives throughout our company to expand our reach with underrepresented communities by developing relationships with the Financial Alliance for Racial Equity (FARE) as well as being a leading sponsor with the Conference of African American Financial Professionals (CAAFP). We're working to establish new partnerships with the National African American Insurance Association (NAAIA) and the U.S. Black Chambers of Commerce. Our CEO, Doug Hammond, has personally signed the Paradigm for Parity pledge to work towards gender equity and joined the CEO Commission for Disability Employment to ensure people with disabilities achieve and maintain equal access to meaningful employment.
While we know we have a long way to go, we take pride in the meaningful relationships and contributions we are working hard to make in our industry, communities, and world. We encourage our employees to get involved and help us find ways to make a difference!
-Mary Steed, Chief People Officer
