Diversity

Embracing diversity. Valuing differences.

Welcoming every voice

Diverse backgrounds. Fresh ideas. Varying points of view. All bring greater innovation and success to any organization. We celebrate individuality, and always strive to create an environment that empowers everyone to be their whole self.

A feeling of belonging

Sometimes you have to break barriers to build community. Whether you’re an advisor, employee, or business partner, we always want you to feel at home with us. Diversity and inclusion aren’t just words to be spoken. They’re actions that are taken.

Celebrating the power of inclusion

This month is dedicated to recognizing the contributions of workers with disabilities and the importance of building equitable workplaces.

Listening, then leading

To create real change, you must first listen. Our employee- and advisor-led councils engage in ongoing dialogue on strengthening equity and belonging. Listening first makes us better able to lead—and promote change toward a more just future for everyone.

Cetera Inclusion & Impact Council

The financial professionals and employees on the council inform our efforts to reach more diverse and traditionally underserved communities of investors, while also helping us expand our role in creating a more inclusive profession.
