Posting date: 07/25/25

Embracing diversity, equity, and inclusion: The Heartbeat of SRG Senior Living

At SRG Senior Living, we don't just talk about diversity and representation – we live it. Our commitment to fostering an inclusive community extends to our hiring practices. 

We believe that a diverse workplace enriches the experiences of our residents and contributes to a positive work environment.

Not only does diversity contribute to increased productivity it improves creativity, innovation and problem-solving.

Diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) is vital in the senior living industry. It’s important that we embrace the unique strengths and perspectives that each person brings to the table. 

Let’s dig a little deeper into what these values mean.

What is diversity, equity, and inclusion?

Diversity is like a colorful quilt, stitching together people of different backgrounds, ages, ethnicities, and abilities. It's the vibrant tapestry that brings varied perspectives and experiences to our workforce.

Equity is about ensuring everyone has an equal shot at success. It's about recognizing individual circumstances and offering the support needed for every employee to reach their full potential. We're all about fairness here. 

Don’t just take it from us, read stories from our employees, from Maria’s progression story, Eric’s career success from server to cook, and why Norinda has a smile on her face every day.

Inclusion cultivates a workplace where all employees feel valued and respected, contributing to a culture where diverse voices aren't just heard—they're celebrated. It's about fostering a sense of belonging and acceptance in our workplace.

By promoting diversity, we challenge stereotypes and create an environment that reflects our vibrant and dynamic society.

Why is diversity, equity and inclusion important? 

Representation matters in the senior living industry. But why? Promoting diversity fosters equality, helps to reduce biases, and create a sense of belonging among residents, their families, and team members.

We believe in the strength that diversity brings, and it's not just about celebrating differences; it's about recognizing the rich experiences that come with them:

Enriched experiences:

Imagine a place where laughter echoes in a multitude of languages, where traditions from various cultures intertwine, and where every face tells a unique life story. 

That's the community we strive to create at SRG Senior Living. Diversity encourages a culture of joy, where residents and teams can socialize and enrich their minds by learning from each other.

A sense of belonging:

When our senior residents look around and see staff members who reflect their own backgrounds, it fosters a sense of belonging. 

This familiarity creates an environment where they feel understood, heard, and valued.

Cultural competence:

Diversity among our team members ensures a deep understanding of various cultural nuances. 

This cultural awareness and competence translates into better communication, personalized care, and an overall enhanced living experience for our residents.

Thriving in diversity:

Just as a garden flourishes with a variety of flowers, our community thrives when it embraces diversity. 

The exchange of ideas, traditions, and stories enhances the quality of life for everyone involved.
