We believe that providing an inclusive and diverse environment will encourage the original thought, innovation, and quality customer service necessary to support a great insurance and financial services company. You will find this philosophy to be a consistent part of our culture at our Corporate headquarters as well as in our field locations.
Nationwide's Diversity Philosophy is fundamental to our business strategy. We believe a commitment to diversity will help us enhance the performance of our businesses by:
* understanding the global market we serve
* providing the most effective products and services to our customers
* attracting and retaining the best employees
To achieve our goals, we support a diversity philosophy that is greater than gender or race. We believe a holistic and systemic approach to diversity will help us achieve our goals. We strive to create business goals and initiatives that make sense for our customers and our company, reflect our values, and maintain an eye for diversity. We want our employee population to mirror our customer population. This way, we can better serve our broad customer base with employees who represent a diverse society.
We are particularly proud of our partnership with The Tom Joyner Foundation, which provides financial help to historically Black colleges to support students who may not be able to continue their education due to financial difficulties. Nationwide offers internships and mentoring programs at its world headquarters in Columbus, Ohio. Visit http://www.nationwide.com/aboutus/diversity/events.htm for more information.
