How we define Diversity, Equity and Inclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>

\"Diversity<\/p>\n

Diversity<\/h3>\n

We define diversity as all the multiple dimensions of identity which make you uniquely you. It\u2019s what makes up the story of who you are and informs the perspectives you bring to your professional relationships with clients and colleagues. And it is this collection of distinct backgrounds and authentic experiences that will help us grow even stronger.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>

\"DEI<\/p>\n

Equity<\/h3>\n

Equity is often confused for equality which is when we treat all individuals the same way. But when it comes to equity at Edward Jones, we focus on ensuring everyone has what they need to reach their individual potential. Accommodating individual needs through tailored professional development, training, mentoring and other resources to help enable their success.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>

\"DEI<\/p>\n

Inclusion<\/h3>\n

When diversity and equity intersect, we create true inclusion or a place where everyone feels like they belong\u2014 clients and colleagues alike. A space where people feel seen, heard, respected, valued and understood. Where all individuals feel comfortable being their authentic selves, and where all are empowered to contribute.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

How we hold ourselves accountable <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Different perspectives make for better business and Edward Jones is truly for all \u2013 regardless of background or demographics.
