Diversity and Inclusion

Boys Town views attracting and retaining a diverse and inclusive workforce as one of our most important functions. Our firm commitment to diversity and inclusion ensures understanding and appreciation of all applicants and employees.

Boys Town’s hiring strategies and objectives encompass a diverse workforce that mirrors our society and the communities in which we continually recruit new employees. To best serve our youth, families, and other consumers, we need to reflect that diversity.

Everyone should have a chance to put his or her talents to work in a productive and satisfying way. By encompassing different backgrounds, skills and points of view, we can be more effective in working together to serve a diverse customer base.

Benefits Boys Town derives from having a diverse and inclusive workforce:

  • Establishing diverse role models for all the youth and families we serve
  • Different viewpoints and perspectives in decision making
  • Greater innovation and creativity
  • A broad pool of qualified employees at all levels of the organization

All new employees receive EEO and diversity training from Human Resources, and all supervisors receive additional EEO and diversity training on an annual basis. In turn, managers must encourage awareness and respect for diversity within their departments.

Boys Town is committed to:

  • Creating a workplace culture of respect
  • Attracting, developing and retaining diverse employees
  • Driving leadership accountability and ownership

Individual differences are valued and integrated into the culture of the organization, enabling all Boys Town employees to contribute their full potential to our mission and strategic plan.

To achieve our goals, we have programs and initiatives that include diversity recruiting, tolerance instruction, diversity coaching, multicultural circles, annual diversity day and community partnerships and outreach.

Boys Town has zero tolerance for discrimination and harassment, and programs are in place to ensure that employee concerns are resolved fairly, quickly and as amicably as possible.
