DEI Policy
Richmond Capital Management wants all of our employees to feel valued, appreciated, and free to be who they are at work. We know that our best ideas are generated by contrasting perspectives. These varied views are only achieved through a diverse, equitable and inclusionary work culture. We are committed to building a work environment around these goals. Our DEI officer is our President who reports directly to our Board. Our commitment starts at the top of our organization.
Our human capital is the most valuable asset we have. The collective sum of the individual differences, life experiences, knowledge, innovation, self-expression, unique capabilities and talent that our employees invest in their work represents a significant part of not only our culture, but our reputation and company’s achievement.
We embrace and encourage our employees’ differences in age, disability, ethnicity, family or marital status, gender identity or expression, language, physical and mental ability, political affiliation, religion, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, veteran status, and other characteristics that make our employees exceptional. We believe the wide array of perspectives that results from such diversity promotes innovation and business success.
We are dedicated to increasing diversification in the fixed income workplace. To reach this goal, we have offered an internship annually to minorities and women who tend to be underrepresented in our field. We then track their progress either as a full- time employee at Richmond Capital or at another fixed income firm.
Richmond Capital Management’s diversity initiatives are applicable—but not limited—to our practices and policies on recruitment and selection; compensation and benefits; professional development; promotions; social activities; 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.
Teamwork and employee participation, permitting the representation of all groups and employee perspectives.
Work/life balance through flexible work schedules to accommodate employees’ varying needs.
Employer and employee contributions to the communities in which we live and work to promote a greater understanding and respect for diversity and inclusivity.
In recruiting, employ tools like Text IO to help foster inclusion.
All employees of Richmond Capital Management have a responsibility to treat others with dignity and respect at all times. All employees are expected to exhibit conduct that reflects inclusion during work, at work functions on or off the work site, and at all other company-sponsored and participative events.
