Our Commitment To Diversity
Morgan Stanley’s ability to build value for clients rests on the talent of our employees, who bring the benefits of their diverse experiences and perspectives to their work. We firmly believe that our business thrives by promoting a culture of inclusion and belonging where dedicated professionals can collaborate to produce breakthrough thinking.
We leverage targeted recruitment and development programs to hire, retain and promote top diverse talent. Programs designed to help employees develop skills and build networks include the Leader Engagement and Development Program for Black and Hispanic Vice Presidents and Executive Directors, the Multicultural Professional Development Program for Ethnically Diverse Analysts and Associates and the Women’s Development Program for Vice Presidents and Executive Directors. In 2019, our inaugural Wealth Management Black Leaders Forum brought colleagues together for a multiday experience that provided exposure to senior leaders and created a sense of community designed to build career momentum. Other strategic programs, like the Multicultural Leadership Summit, underscore our commitment to inclusion as a strategic business imperative and convene our multicultural employees in a business development forum focused on deepening client relationships. “At Morgan Stanley, diversity is an opportunity— for clients, employees and the firm. By valuing diverse perspectives, we can better serve our clients while we help employees achieve their professional objectives. A corporate culture in which everyone feels they belong is fundamental to our role as a global leader constantly striving for excellence in all that we do.”
