It has become a cornerstone for the success of any organization. At WTW, we know that fostering inclusivity isn’t just about meeting quotas or ticking boxes; it’s about actively seeking out diverse perspectives and embracing the richness they bring to the table. Only by doing this can we really start transforming tomorrows.

The first step for inclusion happens at the hiring stage. Embarking on the inclusion journey from the hiring process is paramount, by actively seeking out diverse talent. Our recruitment team not only aims to bring in a wealth of qualified candidates but also strengthen the WTW culture of inclusivity from the outset. Seth Schneider, Senior Associate from the Recruitment Team in North America, is a strong ally of the LGBT+ community and is passionate about inclusive hiring at WTW. He mentions the company’s collaboration with the Denver Pride Job Fair over the past two years which underscores the dedication to fostering inclusivity in the workplace.

“The essence of what I’ve observed is the emphasis on promoting WTW’s core values, specifically the idea of encouraging individuals to bring their true selves to work. This, I believe, is one of the most significant takeaways. People who I meet at these events resonate with the notion that we’re advocating and supporting the authenticity of each individual in the workplace.”

Events such as the one taking place in Denver, Colorado help individuals from the LGBT+ community understand WTW’s dedication to inclusivity as an employer and its progress towards becoming a robust one through I&D efforts.

Seth also highlights that “we extend our support across various dimensions of our colleagues’ well-being, including physical, emotional, social, and familial aspects, showcasing dedication to building an environment where every individual feels valued and supported. This is encouraged and instilled globally across all locations of WTW.”

Committing to Inclusive Excellence

By tracking our progress and seeking different perspectives globally, we aim to continuously improve and evolve. Right from hiring to culture experience, we embrace diversity, knowing that it is the key to driving innovation and achieving our collective goals.
