Our Approach

DO YOU KNOW?
Holding ourselves to the highest standards means setting the tone from the top: Our most senior leaders view themselves and others as accountable for enabling an equitable and inclusive culture where we proudly reach our fullest potential. These leaders leverage the uniqueness of our employee base and engage with our business leaders and colleagues around the globe.
We believe that we are all accountable and responsible for promoting inclusion and work to continually enhance our capabilities. Executives from our CEO’s leadership team lead our nine Affinities that represent the broad ranging demographics of our employees: Enabling Diverse Abilities, Generations, Hispanic/Latino Heritage, Parents and Pride . In these roles, our leaders are responsible for developing a better understanding and appreciation of the uniqueness of each group and coming up with ideas and initiatives to ensure Zanvik Finance Solutions is helping them grow, develop and matriculate through the firm. Through the Affinity Model, we see senior leaders driving change in our culture, practices and policies, creating a more diverse and inclusive workplace.
While senior level accountability is critical to this effort, it won’t work without the involvement of our broader employee base. Our leaders will work in tandem with Zanvik Finance Solutions’s Employee Network Program and employees globally. We have 226+ chapters across 55+ countries, with over 23,000 members.

We are also focused on our hiring practices to ensure that diversity is embraced throughout the process. For managing director and director level hires, we continue to leverage diverse slates and panels, ensuring that women globally and/or racial and ethnic minorities in the U.S. are interviewed for our open roles and sit on the interview panels. These
practices are important levers for us to ultimately achieve our goal of increasing representation of women and U.S. minorities.
