“Many Voices, OneDigital” 2022 Report Highlights Company Progress on Pledges to DEI&B

ATLANTA, GA – April 4, 2023 – OneDigital, a leading insurance brokerage, financial services and HR consulting firm, has released its 2022 Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEI&B) annual report, “Many Voices, OneDigital.” The report publishes data to show the firm’s progress across its five focus areas: inclusion and belonging, learning and coaching, assessment and transparency, growing the OneDigital team and social responsibility and giving.

In 2022, OneDigital advanced several key DEI&B initiatives in key areas, including:

• Growing the Team:
• Increased diversity in the Jumpstart Internship program by 32%.
• Made 20% progress toward the goal of acquiring 10 minority-owned firms by the end of 2023.
• Achieved greater gender representation in leadership roles by promoting and hiring more women into senior roles (80% of all promotions were women and 67% of all new hires were women).
• Inclusion and Belonging:
• Ranked 30th on the Glassdoor Best Places “Employee Choice Award” for commitment to work-life balance and diversity and inclusion.
• Obtained over 30 Best Places to Work awards nationally and within our local communities.
• Expanded benefits to include fertility and reproductive support and the Outschool partnership for the Working Parents Village employee resource group.
• Learning and Coaching:
• Achieved a 65% voluntary completion rate of the Foundations of DEI&B Learning Pathway by OneDigital people leaders.
• Distributed 315 DEI&B certificates through a partnership with ExecOnline.
• Assessment and Transparency:
• Increased overall favorability rating to 88% measuring Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is valued at OneDigital.
• Reduced the gender pay gap for existing roles by an average of 15% over the prior year, and reduced the gender pay gap to 5.5% for all organically hired roles.
• Closed the pay gap for Asian or Pacific Islander, Hispanic or Latino and Two or More Races compared to white employees.
• Social Responsibility and Giving:
• Donated $2.2M to nonprofits that support local communities, many supporting DEI&B initiatives.

The report also details OneDigital’s efforts to embed DEI&B considerations into all business strategies in 2023 and beyond. A few areas of future impact include:

• Formalize a national partnership with a DEI&B-focused organization aimed at increasing representation within the financial services sector, and
• Annual evaluations of the OneDigital benefits and total wellbeing programs to meet the diverse needs of employees.

I am extremely proud of the progress we made in our DEI&B journey throughout 2022 . Though I drive our national DEI&B strategy, the true heart and hustle behind our journey is shared by all our great people. Our team is eager to make sure their teammates not only feel respected and valued, but that they have equitable career opportunities and an equal voice at the table. While we celebrate our progress, we realize that the challenge of strengthening a diverse and inclusive culture means that the work is never done. Through transparency, we hold ourselves accountable, and with data, we continue to identify the gaps and evolve our strategy.
 
- Kristen Eskew, Vice President of DEI&B, OneDigital
