They come from different backgrounds. They have different experiences. But, it’s the shared passion for serving our customers that brings us all together. And, our employees understand that diverse perspectives make our financial expertise even more impactful.
That impact also comes from ensuring our employees reflect the communities and neighborhoods we serve. It’s something we continue to engage with, taking stock of where we are, and pursuing equity at all levels. We’re honoring that commitment because it’s simple: we believe in our people.
We demonstrate that belief by investing in our employees, because they’re the ones who deliver every day on the promises we make as a company. We’re here to provide them with the well-rounded support they need, the resources for professional development, and the opportunity to grow within our team.
Our Employees By The Numbers
We’re proud of our diverse family, but we see these numbers as a starting point. Through several programs, like the Financial Services Pipeline (FSP) Initiative, Winning at Wintrust, and Wintrust Credit Academy, we’re taking shared responsibility at all levels to ensure our workplace fosters inclusivity and represents the diverse markets we serve. Our partnerships with organizations like the Association of Latino Professionals for All and Chicagoland Chapter National Black MBA Association help us attract minority employees seeking careers in the finance industry.
