Diversity and Inclusion
Mission statement
We are a community of healthcare professionals, clients, and employees that represent a broad spectrum of backgrounds, perspectives, and cultures. We recognize, respect, and celebrate these differences not as points of division, but rather as guideposts for improving the lives of others.
Diversity and inclusion shall be woven into the fabric of our overall company culture so that we may attract and retain effective and diverse talent to successfully deliver services that are at the core of our company’s mission.
Employee affinity groups
Our Employee Affinity Groups (EAGs) are voluntary, employee-led teams who share a common identity or interest. They provide a safe space for team members to connect with others and share their experience. EAGs advocate for the needs of their members and work to create a more equitable, supportive workplace.
Multicultural
The Multicultural EAG celebrates the wide variety of cultural backgrounds within our team.
Their mission is to foster an atmosphere of diversity, inclusiveness, and self-awareness ensuring that our team members of all cultures feel valued.
Pride
The Pride EAG provides support to our LGBTQIA+ employees to ensure they feel welcome and included.
They provide information, resources, and support to create a safe and inclusive workplace where everyone can safely be themselves.
Women in leadership
The Women in Leadership EAG empowers and provides support to all of Amergis’s women.
The group works to increase the company’s gender diversity by attracting, developing, and retaining women of all backgrounds.
