Trademark’s IDEA Committee
Trademark is passionate about creating an inclusive workplace that promotes and values diversity. We strive to create workplaces that reflect the communities we serve and where everyone feels empowered to bring their full, authentic selves to work. Companies that are diverse in age, gender, race, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion, ability and perspective are proven to be more successful. More importantly, diversity fuels innovation. We are building a culture at Trademark, where differences are valued.
IDEA stands for Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Access.
