Fostering an Environment of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI)

We empower, respect and value all individuals. At Glenmede, DEI is at the center of who we are, what we stand for, and how we operate.

DEI & Community

An Empowering Team-Based Culture

Our inclusive team-based culture is welcoming and enables employees to be their authentic selves. We believe that collaboration among employees with varied backgrounds, experiences and perspectives leads to enhanced decision-making and better outcomes for our clients and for our communities.

What DEI Means to Us

Diversity

Diversity includes all visible and nonvisible dimensions that make us who we are. It is understanding that everyone is unique and recognizing our differences.

Equity

Equity means providing fair access to opportunities, networks, resources and support for growth, development and advancement.

Inclusion

Inclusion is a dynamic state of operating in which each person is treated fairly and feels welcome, respected and valued for their unique perspectives and contribution.

Our Values in Action

With the support and involvement of our senior leadership and DEI Council, we engage in numerous efforts to respond to the evolving needs of our employees, clients and communities.

Creating Connections for Change

Our Employee Resource Groups, or ERGs, bring together colleagues who share a common identity, characteristic or lived experiences and those who support them. These groups are employee-led, empowered change agents for Glenmede.

Continuous Commitment

Advocating for Women 

Since our founding in 1956, Glenmede has maintained a proud history of supporting and promoting women. Our Management Committee and senior leadership comprise executives from each business area and key corporate functions. We connect women to organizations like the Women in Investing Network of Philadelphia, the Forum of Executive Women and The Power of Professional Women to create networks and nurture development.

Prioritizing Our Communities

We focus on giving back to the communities where we live and work. Employees are involved in a number of programs and volunteer efforts throughout the year, whether it’s preparing care packages, tutoring or reading to students, speaking on career panels, taking leadership roles in community organizations or serving on boards of directors.

Committing Our Resources

Financially, we support our communities through our Matching Giving Program, sponsorships, events, and various donation drives held throughout the year.

Proud of Our Culture

We strive to provide our employees with the pathways they need to make a meaningful impact on our firm, our communities and our clients. In our experience, employees make long-term commitments to a firm they are proud to represent.
