First Horizon Bank has enhanced its Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) office to “elevate equity in everything we do.”
First Horizon CEO D. Bryan Jordan says: “The differences that we all bring to the table make our associates and our company one of the best in the industry. We can always do better understanding these differences, and I invite you to keep the conversation going with colleagues and leaders.”
First Horizon has tasked Dr. Anthony C. Hood with implementation. He says: “Our efforts are centered on elevating the critical role of equity. We are equipping our leaders with data-driven, evidence-based strategies to increase accessibility and opportunity for our customers, associates and communities we serve.”
First Horizon’s DEI Council is composed of associates and leaders from across the company, representing a range of business lines and seniority levels, as well as personal and professional backgrounds. The purpose of the council is to “discuss our DEI plan, emphasizing ways to embed diversity, equity and inclusion in our organization,” according to the First Horizon website.
Diversity and Inclusion Statement: “We remain committed to creating a more equitable society, and that starts with our associates, our clients and the communities we serve. We do this by elevating equity, providing capital and counsel, and committing to excellence in everything we do.
