Belonging and Inclusion

Strength in Diversity


Belonging and inclusion empower engagement, performance and growth.

Business Imperative

We strive to integrate diverse perspectives into every decision. This leads to more innovative thinking and better outcomes. A strong focus on belonging and inclusion is imperative to increasing our value, competitiveness and positive impact.
 

Talent

We champion diverse team members as we prepare our leaders of the future, ensuring opportunities for everyone to grow and excel. We intentionally recruit, retain, develop and promote people who infuse fresh ideas, stretch our thinking and diversify our teams.
 

Inclusive Culture

We pride ourselves on creating a culture where everyone feels valued and accepted for who they are—where everyone feels a real sense of belonging. Our people are encouraged to be authentic and true to themselves at work. Everyone, at all levels, is responsible for influencing change and building belonging and inclusion.
 

Market Leadership

As part of BNY Mellon, Pershing is actively working to partner with the industry to advocate for broader change and action beyond our walls by working with our clients, sharing best practices and participating in industry events to help change the landscape of the industry - everyone wins when all voices are equally represented.

We have taken a leap forward in our efforts to understand and address issues long overdue around Belonging and Inclusion…but we still have a long way to go on our journey. It takes listening, practicing, and acting with intention to get there. I am committed to doing that each day and to creating a safe place for others to do so as well.

Jim Crowley, Senior Executive Vice President and Global Head of Pershing

A Place for Everyone


Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are integral to our winning culture and global success. These valuable networks create the conditions for our people to succeed and deliver more—for clients, investors, stakeholders and each other.

The primary aim of GENEDGE is to drive high-impact ideas by promoting educational, social, charitable, networking and collaboration opportunities for professionals across the firm—especially those who are interested in being new or developing leaders, managers and senior executives.
