DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION AT MATERN

Diversity is the presence of differences within a given setting. That can mean different races, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, and socioeconomic classes. This helps offer different perspectives, various approaches to challenges, and proposes unique solutions. 

At Matern, we are strong advocates of diversity internally and have strong relationships with minority and women-owned businesses, as well as local developing and veteran-owned businesses.

Equity is the act of ensuring that processes and programs are impartial, fair, and provide equal possible outcomes for every individual. 

Matern recognizes barriers and is more than willing to break down those advantages to level the playing field and to encourage those who wouldn't engage otherwise. We work to ensure that our team has equal access to advancement on a personal and professional level; and that our workplace is fair, consistent, and appropriate for all. 

 Inclusion is the practice of ensuring that people feel a sense of belonging. This means that everyone feels comfortable and supported when it comes to being their authentic selves. 

We want to create a space for our employees that is empowering and engaging. This promotes open conversation and an effective team environment.
