– Celeste Warren, Vice President - Global Diversity & Inclusion Center of Excellence
League of Employees of African Descent, LEAD’s, mission is to increase and strengthen the pipeline of leaders of African descent and leverage the collective cultural insights from members to drive innovation and performance, and fortify our future.
Our commitment to diversity doesn't stop at hiring: To ensure that we foster a culture of inclusion, we design educational programs and encourage leadership behaviors around perceptions of fairness and respect, value, and feeling a sense of belonging. We actively leverage the wealth of knowledge, insights, and perspectives of all employees in an open, trusting, non-judgmental workplace—one where everyone feels they are known, valued and respected.
We are working to encourage diversity and inclusion in everything we do to benefit our customers and our company.
