A Strong Commitment to ESG Principles

These initiatives help the company create a more inclusive workplace that celebrates various backgrounds and experiences. CrossCountry’s DEI efforts also extend beyond its workforce, as it actively works to increase the diversity of candidates it hires. Through partnerships with minority-serving organizations, the company ensures a continuous flow of diverse talent. The firm is committed to ensuring that its employees reflect the global community it serves. “It’s not just about having diverse teams; it’s about creating an environment where everyone has an equal opportunity to thrive,” said Sean Sinclair, Co-Ally Executive Sponsor at CrossCountry. “We work hard to ensure our employees feel seen, heard, and supported.”
