Diversity at New York Life

At New York Life, we know that diversity is much more than a "buzzword." We recognize that our society and customers represent an evolving range of needs, values, and perspectives — and we continually strive to comprehend the business implications of these ever-changing dynamics. As a company, New York Life promises to ensure fair and consistent consideration and treatment of all the people we do business with: from potential clients to long-term customers, inquiring candidates to seasoned employees, prospective contractors to established vendors.

As our society continues to grow more diverse, we also recognize that today's "niche" market may be tomorrow's biggest opportunity. But at New York Life, we don't see diversity as only a marketing tool. We believe that diversity can have a positive impact on all aspects of our business including product design and development, customer and vendor relations, service delivery, and of course, our working environment.

In New York Life offices around the globe, you'll find a working environment steeped in mutual respect. We value environments that are free from any kind of hostility or intimidation. Similarly, we are supportive of individual needs, which may require special accommodations.

New York Life is proud to support a diversity philosophy built on a foundation of inclusion. We acknowledge that our employee's differences are their greatest attributes and we openly encourage them to use these differences to positively influence our business. Quite simply, New York Life recognizes that the individual's unique talent — the ability to be different — is what creates innovation, causes change, and ultimately leads to a more productive and happy working environment.

We are proud to recognize all of our employees for their individual attributes. For over 160 years, their unique contributions have secured New York Life's reputation as an industry leader and The Company You Keep®. We have no doubt that our support and encouragement of individual differences and the unique talents they produce will only serve to enhance our business for the next 160 years.
