Our Commitment to Diversity
At Brighton Health Plan Solutions, we embrace a diverse culture that is encouraging, respectful and welcoming.
The Strategic Pillars of Our Diversity Commitment
Our Strategic Pillars guide us in pursuing our DEI goals to improve the overall employee experience, create a safe space for all team members and achieve diverse representation across all levels of the organization.
Community
We support representation in our community and engage in acts of service.
Through dollar-for-dollar matching programs and dedicated time off, we encourage team members to engage in philanthropy and volunteer work.
Belonging
We foster a culture of inclusion where each team member belongs and is safe being their authentic self.
We believe in increasing diversity and inclusion at every level, starting with leaders making space for viewpoints that are different from their own. We encourage safe spaces and give underrepresented people a voice. We believe in seeking input, celebrating self-identity and encouraging employee-led groups (ERGs) that build inclusivity.
Employee Experience
We welcome and value each team member’s thoughts, ideas and perspectives.
We encourage team members to bring their authentic selves to work and provide training to help every employee understand and exhibit inclusive behaviors.
Our Values
We’ve recently updated how we define our values in order to reflect our goals and the progress we’ve made in our DEI journey.
Live It
Work as a team to support the business and one another. Speak and act with empathy and humility. Listen to understand.
Leadership
Lead with empathy. Support and guide your team in the decisions that need to be made. Check-in on each other, appreciate other points of view and create space for others to contribute. Show genuine care for the people you lead.
Live It
Work ethically, honestly and transparently. Be respectful. Admit mistakes. Follow through on commitments.
Leadership
Do what you say and say what you mean. Express gratitude, be authentic and show respect for each other. Lead by example by modeling our core values in your words and actions.
Live It
Be exceptional and strive to be better in everything we do. Execute with confidence, expertise and efficiency.
Leadership
Seek out different perspectives. Recognize we can learn from each other and collectively be better. Understand that our differences make us stronger.
Live It
Embrace change and creativity. Anticipate the needs of the company and the industry and use creative solutions to make things better. Integrate diverse perspectives and viewpoints into all that we do.
Leadership
Inspire others to drive change. Encourage individual expression of ideas and opinions and recognize that a product or service can be improved by thinking about it in a new way. Challenge and empower your teams to express their views and listen with an open mind.
Live It
Follow through with your commitments. Make well-informed and balanced decisions and own up to mistakes. Be responsive.
Leadership
Hold yourself and each other accountable. Take ownership of your team’s work, strengths, and weaknesses. Take appropriate action to remedy a performance issue or mistake. Discuss biases that influence decision making.
Team Chats
Each month, we host informal, employee-led meetings to discuss important topics that impact our team members.
In our Fireside Chats, we aim to create a safe space where our team members can be their authentic selves and share different parts of who they are with colleagues. Calendar invites for Fireside Chats are sent to all team members and are optional. If you plan on joining, we ask you to devote the time, engage and have your camera on. It can be difficult to share and it is important that those sharing feel supported.
Our Coffee Break Chats are your chance to relax and de-stress! We tackle lighthearted topics from in-laws to parenting to our favorite sports teams. These chats can range from 20 minutes to a half hour and are just a to add some light entertainment to your day!
Interested in a Fireside or Coffee Break Chat topic or want to be a moderator? Email Meredith Worth.
