At TIAA (No. 27 on the Fair360, formerly DiversityInc Top 50 Companies list), diversity and inclusion is part of the company’s culture, engrained into its expectations, and set high in its priorities. Hispanic Heritage Month is one of the many opportunities to acknowledge and celebrate its Hispanic and Latino employees and customers. UNITE, the TIAA Latino/Hispanic heritage employee resource group’s (ERG), mission is to elevate the success of the company and its employees by providing recognition, development, and networking opportunities.
For Hispanic Heritage Month, the group plans to spread the education and awareness of the culture, as well as advance the development of our Latino/Hispanic employees in the workforce, which in turn expands TIAA’s reach and learning to support our diverse client segments, including Hispanics/Latinos.
