Our Commitment to DEIB
At NextGen Healthcare, we are dedicated to championing diverse viewpoints, cultures, and expertise to cultivate an inclusive work community. Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) are integral to our corporate strategy. We strive to recruit, retain, and develop a diverse workforce and leadership team. Through initiatives like Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), training programs, and leadership development, we address mindset and metrics to create a welcoming environment for all employees.
Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)
Our Employee Resource Groups serve as employee-led communities that promote diversity and inclusivity in alignment with NextGen Healthcare's mission. These groups focus on various aspects such as culture, career development, market outreach, and community engagement. ERGs provide a platform for employees to voice their diversity-related concerns and ideas directly to senior leadership. NextGen Healthcare has been recognized by the Human Rights Campaign for its inclusive workplace policies and support for LGBTQ+ employees.
Education and Awareness Initiatives
NextGen Healthcare's DEI journey includes educational programs like webinars, training sessions on crucial conversations, implicit bias, diversity dimensions, and racial discussions. The organization has implemented panel interviews and promotion decisions based on diverse panels for management roles, fostering fair and inclusive practices within the company.
Signature Sponsorship Program - BELONG
BELONG is NextGen Healthcare's signature sponsorship program designed to support employees in advancing their careers and increasing diversity in leadership roles. The program offers guidance on career paths, promotes increased representation in leadership positions, and showcases the success of diverse senior employees. With formal quarterly check-ins and informal support sessions, BELONG ensures alignment and progress for both sponsors and proteges.
