Diversity, Equity, Inclusion
ESWA Diversity and Inclusion Statement
ESWA stands with the families, friends, and communities across the Commonwealth and the country who are impacted by discriminatory social biases and systemic racism. ESWA’s mission emphasizes diversity, inclusion, and equity as critical components to ensure the well-being of our staff, consumers, volunteers, contracted providers, and the community we serve. ESWA is committed to serve our community regardless of color, gender – gender identity, sex, age, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion, race, education, financial status, or philosophy.
ESWA’s consumers come from all aspects of life and so does the ESWA team. We thoughtfully include dedicated caring individuals from a wide variety of backgrounds on our staff as it supports the diverse group of consumers we serve; it makes ESWA and our community stronger. ESWA’s agency culture is the result of the team’s behaviors, personal and organizational commitment, compassion and how we collaborate with others. Here at Elder Services we vow to maintain inclusion, equality, and respect in the work that we do to serve our community.
Hiring Equity Statement: ESWA values a diverse workforce and is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive environment where we strive to embed equity and inclusion into everything we do.
Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single qualification. Even if you do not meet every qualification, we would love to still hear from you and encourage you to apply.
We strongly encourage applications from members of marginalized communities, including Black, Indigenous, and people of color; women; and the LGBTQIA+ and disabled communities.
ESWA prohibits discrimination and harassment of any type and is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer. We provide equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, age, sex, national origin, disability status, genetics, protected veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or any other characteristic protected by federal, state, or local law.
