Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging

Culture at Audubon

Employee Resource Groups

Audubon's Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are voluntary, employee-led, organization-sponsored groups that are open to all employees. ERGs are managed through the EDIB department and are structured with direct ties to Audubon’s priorities and objectives. Our ERGs create an inclusive, supportive, and empowering environment where employees can connect, collaborate, and develop personally and professionally. They foster a sense of belonging and provide a voice for employees across the organization

Gender Equity and Inclusion

Audubon is committed to cultivating a community workplace that is free of discrimination based on gender identity and expression, where all of our flock feels welcome and seen. To that end, we implemented a voluntary initiative for employees—straight and cisgender, and LGBTQIA+ alike—to proactively share their pronouns in email signatures and interactions to create a more affirming workspace. We also have a suite of policies and materials to help support transgender, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming staff members before, during, and after their transition while working for Audubon. These policies also outline the obligations of Audubon’s Human Resources department, supervisors, and other staff and provide guidance and resources to all employees to support our colleagues during their gender transition.
