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 five Team Member Resource Groups (TMRGs): Familia United, United Black, United Pride, Veterans United, and Women in Technology. These groups provide support, enhance career and personal development, and offer educational opportunities for allies.
-
Team Member Career Development — Our training team was inducted into Training Magazine’s 2022 Training Hall of Fame after earning Top 10 spots on the Training APEX Awards for four consecutive years. UWM supports continuous learning as evidenced by the 1.6 million hours of team member training in 2022.
