One key responsibility of the office is championing Business Impact Groups that promote networking and engage hundreds of associates in constructive dialogue to make the company better on all levels.
These circles of support focus on education and awareness, development, and retention, and help us build stronger relationships with and gain deeper insights into one other.
Established in 2004, the Diversity Advisory Council includes members representing all levels of employees and all parts of our business. The council provides guidance on Putnam's overall diversity and inclusion efforts.
Advance a caring, affirming, and welcoming community that advocates for and celebrates Putnam’s LGBTQIA+ associates and allies.
Support and increase the diverse representation of women at Putnam and enable a culture of inclusion.
Advance the inclusion of Black associates by providing development opportunities and mentoring as well as creating a pipeline of diverse talent at all levels throughout the organization.
Foster celebration and respect for the different cultures, ethnicities, and religions of the world.
Support one another by sharing caregiving experiences and tips, and help guide members to Putnam benefit and wellness resources.
Putnam is proud to be a mentor and to partner with Elegant Stitches, a certified Minority Business Enterprise and family-owned small business located in Pittsfield, MA. The relationship is an example of Putnam's commitment to diversifying our supplier mix, supporting our associates, and advancing our corporate sustainability practices.
Putnam's commitment to diversity and inclusion is a strategic imperative and crucial to capture the opportunities that matter most to our associates, our clients, and our communities.
