Diversity and inclusion
Activating every employee’s potential.
At Bloomberg, diversity and inclusion aren’t afterthoughts. They’re central to our success. Innovation drives our business forward – and we know that disruptive, breakthrough ideas come about when diverse teams look at challenges from different angles. Our culture values difference, fosters inclusion and promotes collaboration, because the data shows us that when every employee is empowered to impact our business, we all win.
It starts with how we hire
Diverse teams make smarter decisions, but they don’t make themselves. We actively recruit and nurture talent that adds diversity to our workplace — finding the best and brightest whoever and wherever they are.
Achieving a gender-inclusive world is critically important at Bloomberg and one of our greatest investments. Collective action and a shared sense of responsibility – it’s the only way to achieve true gender parity for all women, without regard to ethnicity, sexual orientation or ability.
Our innovation moves the needle
Every department at Bloomberg develops an annual diversity & inclusion plan. It’s no box-ticking exercise; it’s a challenge from the top to find truly creative ideas that move both equality and our business forward.
We foster innovation through creative ideas
New Voices in the newsroom
Our efforts to increase diversity in our news coverage go beyond who reports, writes and edits the stories. Our global New Voices initiative strives for balance in the sources we interview – providing media training for top women executives and building a worldwide database of women experts that our journalists can approach for comment.
Mental Health Matters
As a member of the global Valuable 500 campaign, we’re committed to real accountability and action on disability inclusion. We’re creating a supportive and comfortable environment for people with disabilities through a wide range of initiatives, including signing the Time to Change employer pledge on mental health in the workplace.
We’ve built a culture of inclusion
