Employees
At Cengage Group, transparency and collaboration are core values. Creating an inclusive environment for our 4,500 employees across 44 countries is necessary to provide diverse perspectives in our products and foster inclusive learning experiences. We also recognize the importance of trust and respect amongst employees and ensuring that individuals at all levels of the organization feel comfortable being their authentic selves at work, including voicing their ideas and opinions.
We strive to achieve inclusivity at Cengage Group through programs and initiatives that create opportunity for learning, listening and involvement. These include unconscious bias training, an annual engagement survey, weekly townhalls with the CEO, peer recognition programs and employee resource groups (ERGs). Our ERGs are employee created and employee-led internal communities, providing personal connections and affiliation to promote diversity, openness, understanding, acceptance and inclusiveness.
Partners
Cengage Group works closely with a range of partners to ensure we foster diversity among our employees, across our products and in our businesses. Partnerships also deliver talent pipelines for diverse recruitment efforts to attract and provide training and apprenticeship opportunities for underserved groups.
