Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

As educators, we know that creating any change with a lasting impact requires a systemic and holistic approach. At Macmillan Learning, we are evaluating every aspect of who we are: our values, our processes, how we create and provide access to content, and how we communicate and engage with each other and our educational community. In our pursuit to serve the broadest range of learners, and to create a company that embraces diversity in all its forms, we have initiated a strong DEI framework across our products, our people, and our culture. Our industry cannot change overnight, but we believe we have a clear path to success.

We are a learning company, and for us this will be a journey of learning, of testing ourselves, and of growth. I am confident that with commitment and partnership, we can lead our industry as an example of how diversity, equity, and inclusion can be woven into the everyday fabric of the work culture and the products we create. I feel incredibly fortunate to be working in a space that has the ability to change lives in the way that education can.

At Macmillan Learning, we too have been on a journey towards greater purpose and possibilities; one that we have been intentional about as we seek to listen and learn from the many diverse perspectives within our company and the greater educational community. This journey is pushing us to a greater commitment to a diverse workforce reflective of the communities of learners we serve. On this journey, we are discovering deeper insights on how to make our content more accessible to our students, regardless of their abilities. This journey is informing us on ways to be more culturally competent on how we design our products and present our content to students. Every step we take on this journey is showing us, as a corporate community, that we must continue to focus on the psychological safety of our most vulnerable employees, students, and stakeholders as a way to build the real trust needed to drive lasting change in Education. We are building equity for all, by creating platforms for our employees to speak up, be heard, and bring their unique perspectives and contributions to the work ahead. There is much work still need to be done. However, we are intent on being compassionate, responsive, and collaborative in our approach to providing an engaging and empowering educational experience for all. We look forward to partnering with our many stakeholders to continue the work of making Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion relevant and useful to delivering the best solutions, products, and service to our customers.
