Employee Resource Groups

We believe in fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace where every voice is heard. Our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are voluntary, employee-led groups that bring together individuals with shared characteristics, experiences, or interests. These groups play a vital role in promoting professional development, cultural awareness, and a sense of community within our organization.

We want a collaborative and inclusive workplace built on our values of trust, integrity, dependability, quality and supporting each other as family. Our commitment to diversity, equity, merit, and inclusion will be achieved by creating an inclusive workplace where everyone feels a sense of belongingness. Additionally, we strive to retain high-performing individuals by identifying and removing barriers to advancement as well as providing opportunities and experiences regardless of demographic characteristics. Moreover, we will empower every team member to promote a culture of diversity and inclusion.

What Our Team Members Say

To pass Interstates to the next generation, we need to leverage the strengths of diversity by creating an inclusive work environment for all. To do so, we need to embark on a DE&I journey and ensure people feel cared for and accepted for who they are.

Danielle Crough, VP of People & Culture

As a biracial woman, the work the Inclusion team has done means a lot to me personally and professionally...I am thankful to all of my fellow team members on the Inclusion team and everyone at Interstates who advocates for a place of belonging for all.

Louise Ozmina, SR. HR Business Partner

Interstates allows me to share my story with fellow veterans and help them find their next career. Not all of them join our family, but they all do gain insight into what it means to be a veteran-friendly organization and what they need to look for in future organizations. I am truly blessed to be part of the Interstates family and to have the opportunity to serve our military veterans!
