Diversity & Inclusion

group of people

We recognize and reward the value that diversity brings – serving customers more effectively, finding more innovative solutions, and creating dynamic opportunities for career success. We promote a diverse and inclusive work environment through education, employee resource networks, mentoring, diversity recruiting and supplier diversity. In a diverse and inclusive work environment, it is our shared values of integrity, passion to excel, unity of purpose, collaborative learning and respect that connect us.

The Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond has received the Diversity Excellence Award for large-sized businesses in the annual Employer All Star Awards.


In a diverse and inclusive work environment, our shared values connect us:

  • Integrity - people trust us and count on us every day to do the right thing all the time
  • Passion to Excel - we love what we do and we know how important our work is, so we aim to excel in all we do
  • Unity of Purpose - being part of a team means we're all working on the same goals, pooling our talents for a common cause
  • Collaborative Learning - learning from each other enables us to push ourselves even further and to achieve new heights
  • Respect - our diversity makes us stronger and enriches our ideas, philosophies and work

At the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, we’re at work for America’s economy. To meet the challenges of this important job requires a workforce as diverse as those we serve.

We embrace diversity by recognizing, valuing and leveraging of our differences for the good of our employees, customers, stakeholders and constituents. Those differences include, but are not limited to, race, color, nationality, ethnicity, gender, age, physical/mental abilities, sexual orientation, marital/parental status, religion, cultural background, education, work experience, geographic locations, ideas and thought processes.

We believe an inclusive environment is one in which all people in the organization feel a sense of belonging, and have an opportunity to be successful. They feel respected, valued, engaged and appreciated for who they are.
