Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
We are Stronger Together
We are committed to the ongoing development of our diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) program and have taken steps to strengthen our commitment to our team members and customers, to challenge ourselves to act with courage and integrity, and to create an environment where people can be their true selves.
At LifeLabs, we know that we are Stronger Together and that we will benefit from the unique perspectives and experiences that each team member offers.
DEI Steering Council
LifeLabs’ DEI Steering Council is made up of a group of diverse colleagues who act as stewards of our DEI program. With representation from all levels and geographies, this cross-section of DEI champions helps inform and direct our diversity, equity and inclusion strategy while creating a culture where team members can feel comfortable bringing their whole selves to work.
Employee Resource Groups
Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) provide a safe environment for team members who may be under-represented within the broader employee population to make their voices heard, and bring their whole selves to work while also offering a safe space for learning, discussions, and idea sharing. Our ERGs are for employees, led by employees, and are open to those who identify as a member of a group and those who want to show up as an ally to support their peers. Our ERGs include:
- Multi-cultural/ethnic communities/racialized groups
- LGBTQ2+
- Women
- Working parents and caregivers
