Our mission is to create a workplace where inclusion is at the heart of business and culture. We focus on building an inclusive, high-performing culture by seeking and retaining talented individuals who embrace and nurture diversity, helping all to thrive.
At William Blair, we support and work in partnership with leading diverse professional organizations to foster greater inclusion in the financial services sector. We also work with our Alliances—Women’s Alliance, Pride Alliance, Veterans’ Alliance, and ONE Alliance—to empower colleagues to celebrate and advance inclusion and diversity.
We believe great talent can come from anywhere and that diversity of skills, capabilities, perspectives, and experiences drives innovation and success.
That means building an inclusive workplace and cultural mindset that attracts and retains the world’s best talent, and helps us redefine inclusion and diversity for our industry and beyond. To achieve this, we continually focus on building an actively inclusive, high-performing culture where:
Together, our people can develop their skills, broaden their experiences and perspectives, and combine their strengths with others to deliver long-term sustainable value for our clients, communities, and firm.
