Diversity, equity and inclusion

Our pledge to diversity and inclusion

At Wipfli, we believe in a workplace — and world — where everyone feels included and diversity is embraced.

To foster that, we are committed to creating an environment where everyone is equally supported, empowered and encouraged.

A place where every associate feels their culture and identity are valued and respected.

A place where every voice matters.  

We are respectful of each individual and the unique strengths and contributions each brings. We encourage diversity of thought because we know, the more diverse the voices are, the stronger we are.

Our commitment to a diverse workplace is evident in our initiatives:

  • Leadership
  • Recruitment
  • Unconscious bias education
  • Inclusion training
  • Diverse business resource groups 

Voices for associates

Our business resource groups give voice to and elevate issues inside our firm for diverse groups. We have launched four so far, with plans to add more.

CEO pledge

In addition, our commitment to an inclusive environment starts at the top, with our managing partner Kurt Gresens.

Kurt has signed the CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion pledge, joining more than 900 CEOs who have pledged to leverage their individual and collective voices to advance diversity and inclusion in the workplace.

By learning best practices other leaders and sharing our own experiences with them, we will continue to build the workforce of the future while focusing on creating and retaining the best in order to cultivate an inclusive workspace. 

We know that we have much work to do and much to learn.

We are committed — collectively and individually — to this journey.
