Employee Spotlights

One of the things that really excites me is how active Macmillan Learning is when it comes to DEI—it’s never an afterthought. I can see that the company is actively and genuinely trying to involve everyone in the company, whether it’s through cultural committees, current event responses, book club choices, or communication about cultural history and pride.

There’s a real emphasis on education—from the guest speakers for BLACC voices to the book club choices to the upcoming Juneteenth events...it’s education that changes attitudes that influence behavior for the better. That’s something that can go beyond how we portray ourselves in our workspace and affect the wider world.

I’m excited to see that this brings more. More understanding. More shared experiences. More thought put into interactions. More representation across the board.

I’m a member of BLACC (Black Leaders Actively Changing Culture), the first ERG at Macmillan Learning, and I appreciate that it gives me the encouragement to speak up at work while feeling 100% supported.

I’m excited to see DEI become a framework we apply to every aspect of what we do. Rather than an additional focus area, we are making it fundamental to our work because we recognize that aligning what we do with DEI principles is essential to improving educational outcomes for all students.

Diversity at Macmillan Learning means celebrating uniqueness and upholding the responsibility we have in making education an inclusive experience. I'm a member of the PAAN (Pan Asian Alliance Network) ERG whose mission is to connect, grow, and nurture the diverse voices of the Pan Asian Community.

Employee Resource Groups at Macmillan Learning

At Macmillan Learning we value the unique contributions of all our employees and understand the importance of identity, perspective, and community as we show up in our work everyday. We support the work of our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) who provide a framework and a platform for our employees to identify with the voices, issues, challenges, and experiences of the communities they represent. Our ERGs are engaged in providing educational content, celebrating affinity moments, engaging in community issues, and sponsoring career development opportunities for the communities they represent.
