Diversity

Diversity at Pershing

Diversity in the workplace includes representation from a broad range of people from all walks of life. At Pershing, our efforts to support a diverse work environment have attracted participation throughout all levels of the firm. We work internally to better recruit, develop, and retain associates from all different groups and to strengthen our associates' skills in working effectively in a diverse environment.

At Pershing, the belief that our associates can-and do-make a difference has been a guiding force in our workplace for 65 years. Diversity enriches our performance and makes us more competitive in the growing global marketplace.

Culture

We respect the unique contributions of every associate, and value their diverse experiences, ideas, and initiatives. We support an inclusive environment where everyone has the opportunity to learn and contribute to the firm in a way that enriches personal and professional development.

Diversity Advisor Board

The Diversity Advisory Board provides advice and direction on diversity initiatives, how to foster an inclusive work environment, and ideas for maximizing the potential of all employees to meet the firm's business objectives.

Mentoring

We offer three mentoring programs at Pershing. These programs provide strong role models to help mentees navigate successfully toward their personal and professional goals, while gaining support and visibility within the firm, and establishing relationships with senior managers that would otherwise not be possible.
