Creating a work environment that welcomes and embraces diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts isn’t just a strategic business priority—it’s the right thing to do. At CB&T, we strive to create a diverse and inclusive workplace that champions our associates’ differences and reflects our clients and the communities we serve. DEI is a top priority at CB&T and the foundation of how we treat one another and conduct business. We value our associates’ unique experiences and backgrounds and foster an environment of understanding, inclusion and mutual respect. 

The heart of our DEI program is our employee resource groups. These are self-supported, employee-led groups that increase DEI awareness among our teams and future employees. These groups provide a place to share ideas, network, raise awareness of diversity, promote inclusiveness, build a culture of allies, develop personally and professionally, and connect to the community. We find that diversity in the workplace allows teams to come up with more creative solutions and be more productive and helps increase profitability—all while having more engaging conversations.
