BMO Financial Group Careers, Benefits, Review

Workplace diversity

At BMO, we celebrate diversity and see it as our strength. Across our operations – in our boardrooms, meeting rooms, branches, contact centres, and everywhere in between – our commitment to diversity and inclusion helps ensure that everyone at BMO feels valued, respected and heard.

The benefits of diversity, equity and inclusion

Teams that are both diverse and inclusive attain higher levels of engagement, loyalty and growth – that diversity of thought leads to innovation and better decision-making. As a company that is founded on strong relationships, we know that diversity and inclusion help us better reflect different communities’ needs, goals and perspectives, so we are well-positioned to serve them.

Our diversity, equity and inclusion strategy

Our Leadership Committee for Inclusion and Diversity (LCID), which comprises 25 senior executives from across the bank, has developed a bold, multi-year strategy to drive performance by excelling at diversity and inclusion. We are focused on achieving industry leadership by increasing diversity across all levels of the organization through ambitious workforce representation goals. Our employees have the option to participate in one of our 14 Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) which help foster an inclusive workplace by bringing together people with similar interests, values, or affinities.

Supporting diversity, equity and inclusion beyond BMO

Our commitment to diversity and inclusion doesn’t stop at our doors. We support customers and communities through a range of initiatives, such as making banking more accessible to customers with disabilities, contributing to enterprise-wide and branch level celebrations of cultural expression, developing the first Registered Disability Savings Plan and sponsoring Toronto’s Pride and Remembrance Run. BMO is proud to foster inclusion in the communities where we do business, and to support the diversity of all our employees and customers.

Championing Employees

At BMO, we focus on the strategic development and management of our people. By offering a workplace that supports and welcomes individuals from many diverse communities and provides opportunities for career and personal fulfilment, we build a reputation as an employer of choice. At the same time, we enhance our ability to attract and retain the talented, engaged and diverse workforce we need to best serve our customers and succeed as a business – it makes sense.
