Diverse Experiences Creating an Inclusive and Equitable Environment 

At FMG, one of the key drivers for creating positive impact is our belief in embracing diverse experiences and thought s to foster an inclusive workplace. To ensure that this belief remains impactful, we founded the Driving Inclusion and Valuing Equity (DIVE) Committee, Racial Equity Team (RET), and Affinity Groups. These initiatives are open to the entire FMG community, creating a safe and respectful space for employees to understand and embrace one another’s unique perspectives. 

DIVE Committee 

The Driving Inclusion and Valuing Equity (DIVE) Committee’s purpose is to empower employees to foster a diverse and inclusive environment , to ensure employee participation and engagement, and to assist the organization in achieving its mission to put people first and achieve greater equity. The DIVE Committee promotes an inclusive environment, advocates and support s engagement among FMG employees, facilitates event s that promote the value of diverse thought and experience, and evaluates FMG policies as they relate to diversity, equity, and inclusion. The DIVE Committee has also been involved in setting up and supporting the Racial Equity Team as well as all employee affinity groups. 

Racial Equity Team 

The Racial Equity Team (RET) is a group of racially and ethnically diverse employees at all levels throughout the organization (from entry-level to executive leadership), who lead FMG’s strategy in becoming a more racially equitable organization. RET guides this transformation by providing space and opportunity for difficult conversations about race, racism, and privilege, while also sharing tools and resources our employees can use to see the world and the work they do through an explicitly anti-racist lens.
