Below are several achievements from our DEI work in FY’24: In FY’24, we launched A昀昀irm’s DEI Learning Program. This program consists of self-paced courses for all A昀昀irmers on topics like inclusive leadership & culture, practicing allyship, microaggressions, and neurodiversity in the workplace, along with a variety of other topics in support of cultivating psychological safety and a high-performance culture. In collaboration with learning opportunities from our Learning & Development team, 52% of employees completed at least one self-paced course during the fiscal year. We plan to continue to highlight both long-format and micro-learnings on DEI topics in continued collaboration with the Learning & Development team, make focused e昀昀orts to increase participation, and measure success of learning outcomes.
