Success Means Embracing Diversity
Celebrate Diversity Month is observed in April to recognize the world’s diversity and to foster acceptance and respect. This month serves as a reminder of the importance of embracing diversity in all its forms—age, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, mental and physical abilities.
Western Financial Group is committed to supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the workplace, and one of the ways we achieve this is by fostering belonging and psychological safety for our team members of all backgrounds.
Belonging and psychological safety in the workplace are the feelings of security and support when sharing ideas, and perspectives and your authentic self (Cornell University, 2025). We encourage our People to better understand and celebrate their unique identities through confidential self-identification and participating in one of our seven vibrant Employee Resource Groups.
Belonging in the workplace ensures that team members see themselves represented and treated equitably and experience acceptance within their organization.
This sense of care extends to the communities and Customers we serve.
"Embracing diversity in all its dimensions empowers us to better understand and serve our diverse Customer base. We are dedicated to fostering an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive and contribute to our collective success. By aligning our commitment to care with our drive for performance, we can achieve extraordinary feats and make a meaningful impact."
- Grant Ostir, Chief Executive Officer
Western continues to invest in DEI educational resources and training so that our team can better cater to the diverse needs of their colleagues and Customers. Championing and celebrating diversity benefits everyone!
