Diversity and inclusiveness are core to who we are and how we work. We stand against racism, discrimination, and harassment. We have firm and effective anti-harassment, and anti-violence policies and our mandate are to be an equal opportunity employer.
We also aim to provide the best opportunities for our people and attract and retain top talent to ultimately provide top-quality service to our clients.
ASSL defines diversity, equity, and inclusion as:
Diversity: Representation across a wide range of backgrounds, experiences, and views.
Equity: Fair and equitable treatment, access, opportunity, and engagement for all,
Inclusion: Environment that respects and values all perspectives, especially ensuring that persons within historically underrepresented groups are included and represented.
To Achieve Our Goals, We Expect:
Respectful communication and cooperation between all employees, members, volunteers, and others aligned with our organization.
Teamwork and participation allow all group and employee perspectives to be represented.
Proactive inclusion of a diverse group (i.e., gender, race, age, religion, sexual orientation) of volunteers, program committees, and speakers to present unique perspectives and guidance so that outcomes of these activities apply to all.
Embrace and attention to the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion in all activities delivered by ASSL.
Associates who believe they have been subject to discrimination in conflict with ASSL’s diversity, equity, and inclusion principles should escalate the matter to the ASSL executive or anonymously through our whistleblower hotline.
