Some of the ways we promote DEIB at Microserve include:
- Offering flexible work arrangements that support our employees in balancing their careers, families, health and personal lives
- Providing regular training and education on DEIB topics for our staff and leaders
- Ensuring fair and equitable hiring, promotion, and compensation practices
- Partnering with diverse suppliers and vendors that share our values

- Regular employee engagement opportunities to build connection between coworkers
- Regular, public peer-to-peer recognition
We are proud of the progress we have made so far, but we know we still have work to do. We welcome feedback and suggestions on how we can improve our DEIB efforts and create a more inclusive environment for everyone at Microserve. We hope to foster an environment where employees feel empowered to bring their authentic selves to work and perform their best, leading to the delivery of exceptional service to our clients.
