At TheMagnet®, we are driven by our purpose: we bring the power of insight to every great professional decision. Because our business is built on the power of first-hand expertise and diversity of perspectives, a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion is at the heart of what we do and who we are. This focus is reflected in our official policies and in The Magnet® values, which combine high performance with compassion, and which guide how we treat our clients, advisors, teammates, and communities.
No tolerance policy on discrimination: TheMagnet® has adopted a no-tolerance policy for harassment and discrimination, including a prohibition on retaliation. We conduct trainings for all employees, and we communicate broadly to make sure employees know how to report any concerns. We all benefit from a work environment that fosters integrity and respect.
We are an equal opportunity employer: Employment at TheMagnet® is based solely on a person’s merit and qualifications directly related to professional competence. TheMagnet® does not discriminate against any employee or applicant because of race, creed, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, national origin, disability, age, genetic information, marital status, pregnancy or related condition, or any other basis protected by law.
Suppliers and vendors: TheMagnet® is committed to conducting business with, as well as promoting the inclusion of, diverse suppliers. We are launching a supplier diversity initiative that will focus on identifying diverse suppliers within our ecosystem, increasing the utilization of diverse suppliers, and building partnerships with diverse vendors.
Our External Advisors: We are also committed to growing the number of diverse Advisors in our network of Advisors. When we select Advisors for a project, we do so based on their experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities, as well as information collected through prior interactions with TheMagnet®, but without regard for an experts’ race, gender, or other characteristics. This reflects our belief that precise matches to the best experts should be based on what our clients are asking and what our advisors report that they know and can share, and not on any other characteristic.
Our Promise: Our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion has only deepened in this period when so many are coming together to press for solutions to longstanding inequities. We believe that our differences make us smarter. Driven by our purpose and TheMagnet® values, we are building a company where every stakeholder has the opportunity to thrive, and we are committed to working with our clients, advisors, and suppliers to continue to drive progress on these issues.
