BPM takes diversity, equity, and inclusion seriously. Every day we strive to empower a culture that supports and encourages colleagues of all races, ethnicities, genders, and sexual orientations to feel comfortable expressing their authentic self.
Inclusion Now!
Our long-standing Inclusion Now! (IN!) initiative is a strong component of our people-focused culture. Its mission is to create programs that reinforce a culture of belonging where unique experiences, ideas, knowledge, and perspectives are encouraged openly and respectfully.
In an effort to foster a more diverse, equitable and inclusive business environment that enables
people to be successful in work and in life, we continue to expand IN! every year.
Some of our recent activities include:
Diversifying our IN! Committee to accurately represent BPM team members and our communities
- Highlighting our support of all minority groups, including LGBTQIA+ and non-binary team members
- Enabling colleagues with commonalities to meet and support each other and help foster a diverse, inclusive workplace through Colleague Resource Groups (CRGs)
