Diversity and Inclusion in Action
Our diversity and inclusion team works closely with managers across the Company to develop action plans specific to each group. Each department’s diversity and inclusion action plan sets critical objectives. We then measure and track key indicators, including gender and ethnic demographics, new job candidates and hires, promotions, turnover and tenure. We analyze this data to evaluate progress and identify gaps.
We maintain a number of ongoing initiatives across the Company to support diversity and inclusion. These include:
Employee Resource Groups
Employee resource groups are employee-led organizations within Eaton Vance established to reflect and celebrate the value the Company places on diversity and inclusion. Employee resource groups serve as networks for work colleagues to leverage their experiences to connect with one another, learn and develop professionally, and promote diversity and inclusion. Each employee resource group is led by a pair of employees, sponsored by members of the senior leadership team and open to all.
PRIDE+
PRIDE+ works to engage, support and build an inclusive community for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer employees and their allies across the Company. EV PRIDE+ was instrumental in our achieving a 100% rating on the Human Rights Campaign: Corporate Equality Index. EV PRIDE+ and Eaton Vance host a Pride-month kickoff celebration, participate in the Out for Undergrad Business Conference and help plan our Diversity and Inclusion Winter Social.
EVolve Young Professionals
EVolve strives to foster a culture and environment that is welcoming, encompassing and conducive to growth for the increasing population of young professionals at Eaton Vance. Through Lunch and Learns, evening socials, mentorship programs and other networking events, EVolve works to introduce and expose young employees to people, skills and experiences that will facilitate their long-term success at Eaton Vance.
