Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
At Elevations, we believe that diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) are essential to fostering innovation and driving success. Together, we strive to build a better future where differences are celebrated and everyone can thrive.
Inclusion is at the center of our work together. We're committed to creating and promoting a safe and inclusive environment where all our employees and members feel welcomed, valued, respected and heard.


Inclusion Matters.
At Elevations, it’s key for us to incorporate inclusion into daily work. We support this through employee resource groups (ERGs), DE&I training, volunteer time off, mentoring and job shadowing.
Our employee resource groups
Employee resource groups (ERGs) are voluntary, employee-led resource groups that foster an inclusive workplace aligned with Elevations’ core purpose, values, goals, business practices and objectives. ERGs are open to all and organize around shared interests and experiences.
