Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
We celebrate and empower all backgrounds and beliefs while fostering an
environment of acceptance, respect, and growth.
-
Leadership Development and Training — Although DEI is
everyone’s responsibility, our leaders receive extensive education on
how to foster an inclusive workplace. We know that creating an
environment of safety for our team members starts with each leader
setting that tone with their direct reports.
-
Social and Cultural Awareness — We honor and
acknowledge cultural celebrations throughout the year, including hosting
numerous on-campus celebrations highlighting cultural milestones and
events such as Eid, Juneteenth, Lunar New Year, Diwali, and more.
-
Be You Here — We encourage team members to bring their
unique background, ideas, and experiences to help power their dreams and
our business forward. We also provide each team member with two Be You
Here days every calendar year (in addition to paid time off) to allow
them to celebrate the days that matter most to them.
-
Resource Groups – We provide opportunities for team
members to come together based on shared characteristics or life
experiences through our nine Team Member Resource Groups (TMRGs): United
Black, United Pride, La Familia United, Veterans United, Women in
Technology, United Abilities, APIDA (Asian, Pacific-Islander, and
Desi-American) United, Green United, and Women United. These groups
provide support, enhance career and personal development, and offer
educational opportunities for allies.
-
Team Member Career Development — In 2022, our training
team was inducted into Training Magazine's Training Hall of Fame after
earning Top 10 spots on the Training APEX Awards for four consecutive
years. UWM values continuous learning, as demonstrated by the nearly 1.2
million hours of team member training in 2023.
