One key responsibility of the office is championing Business Impact Groups that promote networking and engage hundreds of associates in constructive dialog to make the company better on all levels.
These circles of support focus on education and awareness, development, and retention, and help us build stronger relationships with and gain deeper insights into one other.
Established in 2004, the Diversity Advisory Council includes members representing all levels of employees and all parts of our business. The council provides guidance on Putnam's overall diversity and inclusion efforts.
Advance a caring, affirming, and welcoming community that advocates for and celebrates Putnam’s LGBTQIA+ associates and allies.
The group's mission is to support and increase the diverse representation of women at Putnam and enable a culture of inclusion.
The group advances the inclusion of Black associates by providing development opportunities and mentoring as well as creating a pipeline of diverse talent at all levels throughout the organization.
The group is focused on proudly fostering celebration and respect for the different cultures, ethnicities, and religions of the world.
Putnam's commitment to diversity and inclusion is a strategic imperative and crucial to capture the opportunities that matter most to our associates, our clients, and our communities.
