Who We Are: The AB Workforce

 

We are committed to enhanced transparency as part of building a more diverse and inclusive firm. This data snapshot of the current state of diversity at AllianceBernstein (US only) is a step toward building that transparency.

 
 

Community and Belonging Strategy

At AB, we want every person to have the opportunity to succeed based on merit, regardless of race, color, religion, creed, ancestry, national origin, sex, age, disability, marital status, citizenship status, sexual orientation, gender identity expression, military or veteran status, or any other criterion. Why is this so important? To us, teams enriched with people of distinctive experiences, perspectives, and backgrounds make us better. They help us generate better ideas, reach more balanced decisions, engage our communities and help our clients achieve better outcomes.

Create Opportunity

Build programs and partnerships that widen the talent pool and provide employees with an opportunity to achieve meaningful career and personal growth.

 

Cultivate Belonging

Foster an inclusive culture in which all employees feel valued for their contributions and encouraged to achieve their full potential.

 

Build Community

Make an informed positive impact in the communities in which we operate and enable our employees to lead rich civic and philanthropic lives.

Career Catalyst Program

The Career Catalyst Program is a six-month coaching program designed to give participants the tools to manage their career development. The program pairs senior vice presidents with vice presidents for focused career coaching.

Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)

ERGs are at the heart of AB’s diversity, equity and inclusion effort. They’re cross-divisional and employee-led, making them uniquely effective at accelerating the advancement of colleagues from traditionally underrepresented groups and empowering the allies who support them. By informing and educating—and reaching out to our clients and communities—ERGs help the firm develop its business as well as recruit, retain and develop AB employees all over the world.
