Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Eight Black is committed to fostering, cultivating and preserving a culture of diversity, equity and inclusion.

We embrace and encourage differences in age, color, disability, ethnicity, family or marital status, gender identity or expression, language, national origin, physical and mental ability, political affiliation, race, religion, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, veteran status, and other characteristics that make our employees, customers and our community unique.

Eight Black’s diversity initiatives are applicable—but not limited—to our practices and policies on recruitment and selection; compensation and benefits; professional development and training; promotions; transfers; social and recreational programs; layoffs; terminations; and the ongoing development of a work environment built on the premise of gender and diversity equity that encourages and enforces:

• Respectful communication and cooperation between all employees, customers, clients and the community at large
• Teamwork and employee participation, permitting the representation of all groups and employee perspectives.
• Employer and employee contributions to the communities we serve to promote a greater understanding and respect for the diversity
