With bold ambitions, we have accelerated our approach to diversity and inclusion by being intentional with how we grow our workforce and conscientious about how we support our communities. In years past, the culture and representation of Chamberlain Group developed organically – lacking the focus needed to make meaningful change in the area of diversity and inclusion. As a company, we strive to be as diverse as the people we serve. By diversifying our workforce and building deeper connections to the communities we serve, Chamberlain Group is able to tap into an increased wealth of experiences and thinking that enables us to be better, together.
“Equal access is at the core of what we do. Our commitment to DEIB reflects this sentiment; a shared purpose and accountability to opening doors for our customers, communities and employees.”
At Chamberlain Group, we believe in being open and honest as we grow and improve. And being transparent about our Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) journey is no exception. In 2023, we made the decision to measure our DEIB progress in earnest. While our efforts to that point had yielded improvement, we weren't where we wanted or needed to be. We resolved to be more intentional about moving the needle on DEIB and set lofty goals to hold ourselves accountable to change. We're far from the end of our journey, but we're working every day to make a sustainable impact on our culture for our ONETEAMERS.
2023 showed the first drop in global representation of women since 2020. We're committed to gender diversity at all levels, but this year proved a challenge in retention of women talent.
While we've seen a slight decrease in the number of of women in our workforce, global representation of women in leadership has increased by 1.1 percent. There is still room for improvement, and we're actively working to drive more inclusivity and diversity at these levels.
In the US, 10.7% of our employees identify as Asian; 8.2% identify as Black/African American, and 13.3% identify as Hispanic. As we look towards the future we'll continue to drive inclusive hiring, strengthen our diverse partnerships, and build a workforce that reflects the communities we serve.
At the leadership level, we've seen diversity gains with an increase of 5.3% since 2020, especially among Asian and Hispanic leaders in the US. We acknowledge that we still have work to do in improving overall diversity in leadership.
At Chamberlain Group, we believe that innovation and success thrives when there are diverse minds and backgrounds at the table.
With 6,000 employees globally, we're proud to serve a broad variety of communities – continuing our mission of opening doors and making access simple.
Our Business Resource Groups (BRGs) are voluntary, employee-led groups that help foster a more inclusive culture at Chamberlain Group. Our three BRGs provide a safe space for employees to connect and celebrate, share their experiences, educate and bring awareness to opportunities for the organization to support, and partner with leaders and teams across the company to drive individual growth and development.
