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.

The DE&I Inclusion Logo from Elevations Credit Union contains four circles that are arranged in the shape of a diamond where all four circles touch in one place.  Each circle calls out a DE&I core value.  The four core vales listed are Welcomed, Heard, Respected, Valued.  In the middle of the circles, where they all touch together is a blue heart.  The heart is overlayed on top of the circle intersections and displays the ECU Logo.  The word "Included" is wrapped in a banner over top of the heart.

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.
