Creating a Diverse Culture of Equity, Belonging, and Inclusion

At Access, we’re dedicated to creating a workplace where diversity and inclusion are not just values, but integral parts of our culture.

Our commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) drives innovation, collaboration, and success. We believe that a diverse workforce brings a wealth of perspectives and ideas, fostering creativity and enabling us to better serve our global community.

Our DEI Strategy

Our DEI strategy focuses on fostering a culture of equity and inclusion that empowers team members, accelerates innovation, and drives business growth. To achieve this, we prioritize:

Representation: Expanding outreach to attract diverse talent and creating equitable leadership pathways. We aspire to continue to build a workforce that reflects the world around us.
Leadership Accountability: Providing leaders with tools and training to champion diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Transparent Communications: Strengthening connections through open dialogue and continuous feedback.
Retention and Engagement: Enhancing team member experience with mentorship, career development, and recognition programs.

Employee Resource Groups

Our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are essential in fostering an inclusive and vibrant culture at Access. These voluntary, team member-led groups bring together individuals with shared interests and experiences to create a sense of community, amplify diverse voices, and drive meaningful change.

Key Contributions:

Community Engagement: ERGs have organized various cultural events, programs, and initiatives, demonstrating the power of collaboration and commitment to our DEI values.
Charitable Efforts: ERG’s have identified non-profit organizations that align with our DEI vision and values. These fundraising campaigns raised over 10K+ in donations supporting the underrepresented.
Professional Development: ERGs offer leadership opportunities, mentorship, and platforms for team members to share insights and shape our organizational strategy.

We aim to expand resources and support ERG activities, enhancing their impact and aligning initiatives with broader DEI and business goals.

America’s Greatest Workplaces for Diversity

In 2024 and 2025, Access was recognized by Newsweek and Plant-A Insights Group as one of America’s Greatest Workplaces for Diversity.

This award is based on the survey results of over 220,000+ individuals which included representation at over 1.5 million companies in America and highlights companies committed to offering diverse and inclusive work environments.

Hear directly from our employees about how Access’ DEI initiatives have positively impacted their careers, lives, and our company.

Becoming a part of the Employee Resource Group has enhanced my overall experience with Access. I have been able to meet and network with team members that I would not have gotten a chance to meet if not for the Veteran’s ERG. I have gained great insight and perspective and enjoy planning events and activities for our group.
