✅ Why This Commitment Is Important:

The success of the Workplace Inclusion Charter (WIC) relies heavily on the active engagement of employer partners whose insights ensure the program is both practical and impactful.

Many employers have used their WIC commitments as a foundation for further diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts. In doing so, they have developed tools, procedures, and policies that not only meet but often exceed the WIC standards.

This commitment acknowledges Workplace Inclusion Champions who contribute to the growth of the WIC by sharing resources, lessons learned, and best practices with other employers. It also recognizes those who provide valuable consultation to continuously improve the program, ensuring it remains relevant and effective for all participants.
