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

When we launched ABD in 2012, we sought a better way forward for the clients, colleagues, and communities in which we live and serve. We said that people come before policies, we said that we would build our firm on we, not I. We believe that together is the only way forward, and we have made “In This Together” as one of our core values. As we lean in behind the ideas of diversity, equity, and inclusion, we recognized that these ideas are an extension of our values. Indeed, DE&I is part of our DNA. 
 
– Kurt de Grosz, President, ABD

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.

DE&I Council members speak at the launch of ABDher

Women today face the challenge of being over mentored, yet under sponsored. ABD is on a mission to create an inclusive culture that facilitates the advancement and sponsorship of ALL women within our organization, while enabling women to be their most authentic selves at ABD.

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.
