We’re Committed to Diverse Leadership Driving Progress
Empowering the human experience in a digital world is what we do. Demonstrating inclusiveness and equity is key to our culture and is embedded in every aspect of our Employee Experience. Sutherland’s reputation as an employer of choice is vital in attracting and retaining great talent, and diversity is essential to drive innovation.
Sutherland’s environment is a place where all are valued, respected, and included — where people are empowered to do their best work and bring great ideas to the table – and this is essential to how we do business.
Our commitment to DEI flows from the core of who we are and what we believe, and it drives us to take action:
- Our DEI strategy aligns with our business objectives and clearly identifies the metrics for tracking progress.
- A Global DEI Council leads our strategy and programs, with Leaders bringing their views to represent local/diverse perspectives. Employees are involved in the design of local initiatives, supported by champions on the ground.
- Expert-designed surveys to take the pulse on DEI, helping us shape priorities to drive action and measure impact.
- We amplify our support to under-represented groups.
- We track results across employee engagement, hiring, retention, feedback from clients & performance.
Empowering Diversity with a Human Touch
Our global DEI program creates awareness, accountability, and alignment across the business. DEI is integrated with our talent management processes; supporting career growth and skills development, and in our approach to developing human-centric leaders. We empower people throughout their time at Sutherland, encouraging their journey to grow and LEARN.
Our Commitment Reaches Beyond Our Team With Supplier Diversity
Sutherland is a minority-owned business with a multinational presence. This puts us in a position to benefit small and diverse businesses, create economic opportunities, and help bridge the income gap worldwide. We continue to build a supplier base that contributes to our competitive advantage and demonstrates our commitment to uplifting the communities where we operate.
In alignment with our business-wide DEI strategy, this purpose-led program targets an increase in spend with supplier diversity categories, which include, but are not limited to, business enterprises owned by minorities, women, persons with disabilities, veterans, African Americans, Asian-Pacific Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Native Americans.
