Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
It is part of our DNA.
Diversity is who we are, equity is what empowers all, and inclusion is how we embrace and engage each person.  We create a workplace where every employee’s unique perspective is valued and represented to deliver the best service to our clients.  We encourage, support, and celebrate a strong sense of belonging and the common platform to grow and succeed together.
We’ve built something special: a company with a fulfilling and award-winning culture based on Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) and the core tenets of Work, Love, and Play.
DE&I is Embedded in Our Values
How We Define DE&I
President’s Statement
DE&I Council
The DE&I Council at Newfront works as a steering committee to help make sure we are attracting, motivating, and retaining team members from diverse backgrounds while bringing diverse thought and leadership to our company.
The DE&I Council works to foster a culture of inclusion and belonging where all members of Newfront feel they are treated fairly, respected, and represented. They strive for all employees to have a healthy work and personal life balance and are empowered to excel, as they are, in their respective careers.

The ABD Team discusses the importance of universal love
Through conversations of universal love for all people, we can begin to hold on to the progress we have made or the concept of universal love of one another. This is how we move forward, confront bias, challenge each other, and hold each other accountable.
Employee Resource Groups
An Employee Resource Group (ERG) is a group of employees who identify with others like themselves.
This may include race, gender, age, sexual orientation, working parents, functional level, disability, veterans, etc. The group comes together and actively engages and gathers around a unifying mission.
At Newefront, we have six ERGs that provide support and community for our employees.
