Diversity and Inclusion
Our approach to diversity and inclusion (D&I) aligns with our aspirations, values and purpose.
We are intentional about our commitment to inclusion because we know when people are more engaged, they feel valued. Diverse experiences, backgrounds and cultures are indispensable in creating an innovative and inclusive work environment while developing creative products, partnerships and solutions. Our D&I programs allow us to better serve our clients, create a more welcoming workplace and engage with our communities on a deeper level. We want to ensure our global team feels confident bringing their whole selves to work every day. Our diverse workforce helps us earn client trust, create services with an eye for purposeful inclusion, inspire excellence and deliver on the promise of one Fiserv. Our D&I strategy is integral to how we create sustainable talent pipelines, talent retention programs and internal mobility strategies.
