Inclusion & Diversity

Inclusion + Diversity at IPL Wealth & Asset Management

Inclusion + Diversity is about empowerment.

A diverse, connected, and fully empowered workforce celebrates and leverages our differences, which drives value for clients, communities, and one another.

We are committed to designing and implementing a framework for inclusion, diversity, and belonging. Our Inclusion + Diversity Council is led by senior leaders and reports to the CEO; provides advocacy, support, and resources for our employees; expands employee enrichment and development opportunities; and focuses on increasing the diversity of our workforce and leadership.

Our focus is to:

Ensure that every employee feels seen, heard, and respected
Improve employees’ range of diversity experience and learning
Increase diversity of workforce and leadership team

To that end, we have established four pillars that serve as the foundation for progress: awareness, development, engagement, and networking.
