Global Inclusion & Diversity at Nuveen Watch how creating opportunities that drive gender equality is responsible business Empowered by diversity With offices operating globally across 24 countries, we proudly cultivate an environment of inclusion that celebrates diversity and empowers our employees, clients and the communities we serve. Inclusion & Diversity Committee The Inclusion & Diversity Committee prioritises recruiting, retention and development opportunities that champion the individuality of each and every one of our employees. Nuveen CEO Jose Minaya acts as executive sponsor for the committee across all of our offices, as well as for our parent company, TIAA, which was ranked #9 on the 2020 DiversityInc Top 50 Companies for Diversity list. Action through solidarity We host a series of working sessions between executive leadership and employees called Courageous Conversations. These sessions catalyse awareness and accountability across all levels of the organisation, encourage the advocacy of allies and create a larger voice for individuals who want to be heard. Discussions ladder up to the TIAA Be the Change program, aimed to inspire: Change through Understanding: Proactive advocacy and anti-racism efforts Change through Dialogue: Meaningful interactions that create compassion between colleagues and community Change through Leadership: Management that engenders diverse and inclusive teams Change through Action: Consistent affirmation of our values through actions in the workplace We also support Business Resource Groups (BRGs) that provide a platform to unite through shared cultural, social and gender-related identities and experiences. Currently, our global BRGs are: Alliance (LGBTQ+) Yo-Pro (Young Professionals) BRGs are an invaluable asset for employees looking to find camaraderie, spread awareness and strengthen professional networks across our organisation. Our BRGs are open to anyone at Nuveen interested in learning about diversity dimensions — not just those who identify with a specific group's focus. Changing the future of our industry To help address the underrepresentation of Black talent in British financial institutions, we’ve become a proud participant of the #100blackinterns programme. Starting in the summer of 2021, we will begin offering paid internship opportunities to Black students from the U.K. along with over 80 other British financial firms. Gender equality in the workplace We operate under the governance of the TIAA Transgender and Gender Non-Conforming Workplace Policy to ensure that transgender and gender non-conforming associates feel safe and welcome while developing their careers at Nuveen. We also provide parental leave for all employees no matter their gender identity.
