A Plan Sponsor’s Passion for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)

With an increasingly diverse workforce and a competitive labor market, the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) conversation is here to stay. In episode 34 of Revamping Retirement, we talk with one organization that has tackled inclusivity head-on. Learn what is driving Armanino’s commitment to designing inclusive and competitive employer benefits, the changes made so far, and why they are not yet done. Later, our chief investment officer provides an update on the economy and markets, including why wage inflation may have a silver lining.

Episode 34

In episode 34 of Revamping Retirement, our hosts are joined by Sarah Harris and Jenn McCabe from Armanino, one of the top-25 largest accounting and business consulting firms in the U.S. Armanino is challenging the status quo by tackling the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) conversation head-on—with transformative results.

Sarah and Jenn share why Armanino is dedicated to DEI, the changes they’ve made to their retirement plan and benefits package, and why helping diverse people benefits all people. They also share their perspective on how other organizations can initiate or elevate their inclusivity efforts.

Later, CAPTRUST Chief Investment Officer Mike Vogelzang provides an update on the markets and economy, including his thoughts on inflation and where it is likely to be ongoing versus cyclical. He also shares why wage inflation has a silver lining despite being a loathsome topic for many employers.

And don’t miss Mike Webb’s Minute with Mike, where he recaps the retirement plan types available to different organizations.
