Brighthaven is committed to fostering, cultivating, and preserving a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Our human capital is the most valuable asset we have, and Diversity, equity, and inclusion (“DEI”) are at the very core of Brighthaven’s operating and investment philosophy. We believe that bringing together people with diverse thoughts, backgrounds, talents, and experiences at all levels of our organization, including the executive team, enables us to proactively and creatively achieve our mission to enable opportunities for hard-working American families. The collective sum of the individual differences, life experiences, knowledge, inventiveness, innovation, self-expression, unique capabilities, and talent that our employees invest in their work represents a significant part of our culture, our reputation, and our achievements.
We embrace and encourage our employees’ differences in age, color, disability, ethnicity, family or marital status, gender identity or expression, language, national origin, physical and mental ability, political affiliation, race, religion, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, veteran status, and other characteristics that make our employees unique.
Our organization’s diversity initiatives include but are not limited to our practices and policies on recruitment and selection; compensation and benefits; professional development and training; promotions; transfers; and the ongoing development of a work environment built on the premise of gender and diversity equity that encourages and enforces:
•
Respectful communication and cooperation between all employees.
•
Teamwork and employee participation, permitting the representation of all groups and employee perspectives.
•
Work/life balance through flexible work schedules to accommodate employees’ varying needs.
•
Employer and employee contributions to the communities we serve to promote a greater understanding and respect for diversity.
