Diversity, equity & inclusion
Through diversity, we all make a difference. At RiverSource, we believe that diverse perspectives, talent, and ideas are critical to delivering financial solutions that meet clients’ needs and make a difference in their financial lives.
Diversity is supported through RiverSource business resource networks that reflect the breadth and depth of communities across the firm.
These networks provide additional resources to support professional development and a healthy work/life balance. Members focus their actions around four core areas:
- Leadership engagement and development
- Business growth and support
- Community involvement
- Cultural awareness
