About Us Work Capabilities Careers Technology Blog Contact Us #CommitToChange People come first at PMG, which is why Digital Made for Humans™ has long been our guiding principle. Our teams consist of individuals with unique perspectives and passions that help shape the vision and values of our organization, which include “always change for the better,” “do the right thing” and “be inclusive.” In 2020, our people helped us confront an uncomfortable — yet necessary — reality about our company: We can do more to fully live out PMG’s values and encourage diversity within our organization, our communities, and our industry. We’re committed to bringing forth meaningful and lasting change, and we are holding ourselves publicly accountable to creating a culture that is inclusive and welcoming of everyone. Change Our Work Environment & Culture Our cross-disciplinary DE&I leadership team empowers diversity, fosters inclusion, and holds PMG accountable for our goals. We also empower our Employee Resource Groups by being open to feedback and encouraging these teams to actively shape policies, processes, and to monitor the progress of the company. In doing this, we are committing to: Increasing our investment in Diversity & Inclusion both monetarily and through more than 25,000 employee hours to further the impact of these causes both internally and externally.

Expanding our ongoing relationships with HBCUs and/or HSIs to continue to diversify our Graduate Leadership Program applicants.

Our goal is to set in motion action plans today to move the needle on the following by 2023: Ensure our hires are more reflective of the diversity of our markets. To address our current underrepresentation of Black employees, create industry partnerships and actively recruit more diverse talent at all levels.

All applicants will be considered for employment without attention to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, veteran or disability status. Make Diversity & Inclusion a core competency for the organization, and tie participation to performance and rewards. More specifically, we plan to: Recognize and reward employees consistently and fairly by continuing regular pay equity audits and introduce updated performance, promotion, and rewards practices.
