Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

A Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee, led by a DEI Ambassador has been charged to guide and hold iMPROve Health accountable on matters related to DEI. This is not an initiative or training program; it is work-life culture. Our core values for this committee are:
- Brave, Authentic Conversations
- Diversity
- Emotional and Cultural Intelligence
- Equity
- Empathy and Psychological Safety
- Inclusion
- Transparency and Trust
Benefits of DEI to any organization include a higher retention rate of employees; greater job satisfaction; increased creativity and innovation; greater pride in their work; and a feeling of safety in bringing their authentic selves to work.
