CBIZ Signs CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion Pledge
Joining over 1,000 organizations, the company solidifies its commitment to achieving a diverse and inclusive culture for all employees
CBIZ has implemented measures to promote diversity and inclusion across the company in the past decade and moved swiftly to renew its efforts earlier this year. Today’s announcement is its latest step toward this goal, pledging to take action to cultivate a workplace that supports open dialogue on diversity and inclusion, creates opportunities where diverse perspectives and experiences are welcomed and respected, and where team members feel comfortable sharing their own experiences and insights.
“I am proud of the values-based culture that we’ve established at CBIZ and see the acceleration of our diversity and inclusion efforts as an extension of our core values,” said Grisko. “CBIZ is working with intention and urgency to develop a comprehensive, long-term strategy while at the same time pursuing tangible actions in the short-term. Joining other like-minded companies and business leaders through the Pledge is one of multiple steps we are taking as a company to move forward together.”
Participating in the Pledge allows CBIZ and its team members to engage with others across industries and encourages all participants to share ideas, best practices and resources to advance our collective mission. In addition to its work within the Pledge, CBIZ has formed a dedicated task force to lead internal initiatives that support related goals, including creating more opportunities for team members to engage in open dialogue on diversity and inclusion, and expanding training and education.
“We believe that investing in Diversity and Inclusion is more than just creating a sense of belonging for all of our team members; it is about doing the right thing for our team, our company and our communities,” Grisko added. “We recognize the importance of amplifying all voices, sharing experiences and collaborating to achieve lasting and meaningful change. There is more to be done, and we are committed to the learning required to achieve real progress in this area.”
The CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion™ is led by a steering committee of CEOs and leaders from Accenture, BCG, Deloitte US,
