Diversity & Inclusion
Our mission is to create a culture and environment where every customer, employee and stakeholder, no matter what race, age, ability, gender, or affiliation can benefit from our fair, equitable and inclusive practices.
"Genworth strives to enhance the culture of our company and general community. We seek to build a community that values the inclusion of diversity and be a company of choice and opportunity for all, a beacon of diversity locally and nationally."
Employee Resource Groups
We empower our employees to embrace their differences and find comradery in their commonalities. We offer all colleagues the opportunity to develop, network, learn, and celebrate each other’s backgrounds and interests by joining any of our 13 different Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) and Toastmasters. Each group has their own mission that contributes to creating an inclusive work environment and is open to all colleagues, whether or not they identify with the scope of the group itself. We believe our ERGs play a critical role in creating allyship, education, resources, and positive change for our employees by our employees; they are a fundamental part of Genworth's identity.
"It is becoming clear to companies that in order to be successful you must bring together people with diverse points of view, backgrounds, ideas, and experiences; which is why Genworth is committed to fostering, promoting, and preserving a culture of diversity, equity and inclusion. We understand that having a truly diverse and inclusive group of colleagues, directly contributes to the growth and expansion of the business. It is our purpose to maintain a positive work environment that values individual similarities and differences in the workforce, workplace, and marketplace. Genworth intentionally seeks to attract, recruit, hire, develop and promote a deep and diverse pipeline of talent that translates to a workforce that will grow and flourish. These are key drivers of employee engagement and our success."
Our Commitment
At Genworth we are wholeheartedly committed to creating an inclusive work environment where everyone feels safe to be their truest, most authentic self. We understand that true inclusivity is a journey and we continue to work hard every step of the way to ensure Genworth is a great place to work for all colleagues. Through our strong connections to our communities, we have developed relationships and initiatives with diverse organizations that support our desire to uplift and provide equitable opportunities to customers, community members, and prospective employees. We have also implemented several training initiatives and practices to help our employees become as inclusive and self-aware as possible. We are proud to be working toward a future where the diversity of our colleagues and leadership are entirely reflective of our stakeholders and the customers we serve.
