Inclusion Statement
Inclusion is at the core of who we are at Bridgeway. Our holistic commitment to people embraces and supports who each person is, how each person thinks, and what each person strives to be.
At Bridgeway, we believe the best solutions arise from diverse perspectives. When our team reflects the community we live in, we are better equipped to understand, advise, and deliver for our clients, colleagues, and our broader community. Deep relationships build greater trust, openness to all perspectives, and a desire to collaborate in pursuit of the best solutions.
—Melissa Garrison, SHRM-SCP, Director of Talent

Stating Where We Stand on Inclusion
Bridgeway has been on an intentional journey towards inclusivity since our founding in 1993 – a journey that continues today. We started with clear commitments in our mission and vision and embody the commitments through our actions every day. We recognize that the elements of diversity and inclusion are critical and cannot stand on their own. An organization must have diversity before it can address inclusion. But without inclusion, an organization cannot achieve the positive outcomes it expects from diversity.
Based on research and our experience, we firmly believe that diverse and inclusive teams and organizations make better decisions and achieve better outcomes. That is why we seek both cognitive and identity diversity while hiring the brightest and the best. We celebrate diversity of thought and intentionally build teams to foster that diversity. We stay curious, open to feedback, and we wholeheartedly listen.
