Diversity in Action


At Wintrust, our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) powers our business. Recognizing that the areas and marketplaces we serve include a rich mosaic of cultures and communities with unique needs and expectations, we strive to hire, develop, and promote a highly talented and diverse workforce.

We believe that a rewarding and inclusive workplace sparks innovation and collaboration, and underpins our continued success. Initiatives such as the 360° Inclusivity Model, Business Resource Groups, and Paired to Win (Advocacy and Mentoring) advance our commitment to building impactful careers, educating and empowering consumers, and supporting vibrant communities. Learn more about Wintrust's DEI practice.

Together, we can.

It’s not just about awareness: It’s about action

Our inclusion goals are constantly evolving and there’s always more to accomplish. We focus on tangible things that result in real gains in four key areas:

 

 

We want every person who works for us to feel comfortable, heard, and supported. That means investing in programs that provide opportunities for current employees to grow and those that attract diverse, talented prospective employees. We’re committed to providing resources that develop leaders, nurture talent, and encourage career development for everyone.

Customers

As Chicago’s Bank® and Wisconsin’s Bank®, affordable and accessible banking for ALL is a priority. We remain committed to expanding into diverse markets while striving to meet our customers where they are to help them get where they want to be. Local hiring and employee training anchors service to our 120+ communities to best meet each unique area’s needs. We’ve eliminated overdraft and return item fees for all Wintrust Community Bank retail customers, and our Bank On certified product means everyone can open a safe and affordable bank account.

Strategic Partners

The best way to implement change is to partner with organizations that align with our D&I goals. That’s why we’ve focused on partnerships that expand our effort to attract and retain qualified talent and work towards creating more unified, inclusive communities.

Communities

We’re not just in the communities we serve. We’re part of them, invest in them, and celebrate them. We know that doing so is in our customers’ and employees’ best interest. We believe in making sustainable contributions, providing added-value services, and volunteering our time to improve our area and create more equitable communities. See our community impact

Each of us is layered and complex.
It’s those differences—in experiences, ideas,
backgrounds—that strengthen our company
and our area. We understand that.
