To learn more about Charles Schwab's commitment to diversity, Vault interviewed Sarah Bulgatz, a spokesperson for the company. Schwab has a diversity task force whose mission it is to ensure the company's participation in an increasingly diverse marketplace - and to support and protect Schwab's values and culture. You might be interested to know that we have a high percentage of women throughout the organization - just one of the ways in which we differ from traditional Wall Street firms. Two of our vicechairmen are women.
Financial support is evaluated on a case by case basis.
In order to receive corporate recognition and support, each group must create a charter or mission statement that is clearly aligned with Schwab's values. It cannot charge fees for membership, and it must be open to all employees. Its mission must be approved by the VP of Organizational Development who also serves as the chair of the Diversity Task Force. We have a corporate intranet which is used extensively by employees. However, we strategically target minority student associations at different colleges and do special presentations to them.
