1 min read
The American Nurses Association, American Nurses Credentialing Center, and American Nurses Foundation are committed to cultivating and sustaining a culture of inclusion and connectedness. Collectively, we thrive with a diverse team of employees, valuing the sum of individual differences, life experiences, and knowledge that our employees invest into their work. We desire to create and celebrate a diverse and inclusive workforce that is representative of the people we serve.
Our mission—to lead the profession to shape the future of nursing and health care—guides us to create products and provide services that work for all stakeholders by including perspectives from all backgrounds.
As an organization, we pledge to:
Celebrate Diversity
We celebrate the richness of our differences—whether they be cultural, ethnic, gender-related, or neurodiverse. Our commitment to diversity extends to all aspects of our business, from hiring practices to leadership development.
Promote Equity
We recognize that equity is not just about equal treatment; it's about addressing historical disparities and leveling the playing field. We actively work to dismantle barriers and ensure that everyone has access to the same opportunities.
Champion Inclusion
Inclusion is more than a buzzword—it's a daily practice. We foster an inclusive workplace where everyone feels heard, seen, and valued. We actively listen, learn, and adapt to create an environment where all voices matter.
Hold Ourselves Accountable
We measure our progress, set goals, and hold ourselves accountable for creating a more equitable and inclusive workplace. Our commitment to DEIBJA is not a checkbox; it's a journey that requires continuous effort.
Together, we build a stronger, more resilient organization—one that reflects the world we live in and the communities we serve. Join us as we strive for excellence, guided by our unwavering commitment to DEIBJA.
