Transamerica Recognized for Supporting an Inclusive Workplace

Transamerica announced today that the company has been named to Seramount’s “2022 Inclusion Index,” marking the fourth time Transamerica has received this honor. Transamerica was one of only 54 organizations that earned a score of 60% or higher.

Seramount’s Inclusion Index helps organizations understand trends and opportunities in demographic representation, creates a road map to drive internal change, and identifies diversity, equity, and inclusion solutions to close any gaps. It also provides insight into how participating organizations performed in three key areas:

• Best practices in recruitment, retention, and advancement of people from underrepresented groups—women, racial/ethnic minorities, people with disabilities, and LGBTQ+ people.
• Inclusive corporate culture, including leadership accountability.
• Demographic diversity for women and racial/ethnic minorities.

“Transamerica continues to be strongly committed to inclusion and diversity at every level of our organization. We appreciate that this is the fourth time Seramount has recognized us for championing these values,” said Holly Waters, Chief People and Places Officer at Transamerica. “We are proud to be a company where all perspectives are valued, and employees can be their authentic selves at work. We always strive to be better, and we will continue to tune in to our colleagues and our communities to ensure we provide the support our people, customers and financial professionals need.”

As part of Transamerica’s commitment to maintaining a diverse and inclusive workplace, the company sponsors Employee Resource Groups (ERGs). ERGs, which are open to all employees, host regular events to highlight members’ interests and issues and allow members to provide insight and feedback to the company’s leaders. Transamerica currently has 12 ERGs available to employees:

• BPC – Black Professionals for Change
• DIMENSIONS – Diverse Abilities Partnering Together
• FAMILY – Family Connections Network
• GENS – Generations Network
• HOLA – Hispanic and Latino Network
• PROUD – LGBTQ+
• RISE – Asian Affinity Network
• SALUTE – Veterans Network
• SPECTRUM – Multicultural Network
• TECH – People Using Technology
• WIN – Women’s Impact Network
• XPATS – Expatriate Network

In 2022, 175 organizations applied to participate in Seramount’s Inclusion Index.

“We are pleased to see corporations continue to focus on their DEI efforts effectiveness by evaluating their accountability measures through precise metrics that pinpoint any challenges and create opportunities for next steps” says Katie Oertli Mooney, Managing Director of Diversity Best Practices at Seramount. “We are proud to recognize our Inclusion Index companies for their progress and dedication to creating inclusive workplaces where all talent is valued and set up for their own success.”
