Creating a Culture Where Everyone Feels They Belong

We believe  an inclusive and equitable work environment is essential to who we are and how we serve our clients. Our focus is on ensuring every person at Centric feels seen, valued, respected, and included, regardless of their background or experiences.

When people feel a genuine sense of belonging, they are empowered to give their best and to thrive. Fostering inclusion is a core part of how we bring our mission and values to life. It strengthens collaboration, deepens trust, and supports our commitment to building a healthy, connected, and people-centered workplace.

Our goal is to continuously cultivate a culture centered on inclusion and belonging (IB), enabling every individual to reach their full potential while working in an environment that supports well-being and balance. When people feel supported and included, we deliver stronger outcomes for our clients and our communities.

Centric Together: Creating a Better Future

Centric Together is our enterprise‑wide commitment to building a more inclusive, and connected organization. It reinforces our belief that belonging is created through shared values, intentional leadership, and everyday actions that foster trust and connection.

This framework helps us operate as one aligned firm, strengthen our culture, and create an environment where people feel comfortable being their authentic selves. It ensures inclusion and belonging are integrated into how we hire, develop, lead, and collaborate.

Our vision is clear: A people‑first organization where everyone feels they truly belong.

Centric Together is built around several interconnected focus areas that collectively support a thriving, and inclusive culture.

Nurture & Support

Strengthening an inclusive employee experience.

We are committed to creating an environment where every team member feels welcomed, supported, and connected from the moment they join Centric.

This area focuses on:

Ensuring individuals experience a sense of belonging throughout their journey at Centric
Providing consistent, inclusive support from onboarding through career growth
Strengthening practices that cultivate connection and a positive employee experience

Our goal is to build a workplace where people feel grounded, respected, and able to grow in meaningful ways.

Learn & Grow

Equipping our people to contribute to an inclusive culture.

Inclusion grows when people have shared language, awareness, and tools to support it.

This area emphasizes:

Building inclusive leadership behaviors
Increasing awareness around interpersonal impact
Supporting allyship and empathy
Integrating inclusive practices into leadership development and everyday interactions

We’re committed to helping every employee grow in ways that strengthen our culture of belonging.

Connect & Collaborate

Fostering community, elevating voices, and building meaningful relationships. Connection is foundational to belonging.

This focus area creates opportunities for people to learn from one another, share experiences, and strengthen relationships across the organization.

Key efforts include:

Facilitating open dialogue and storytelling
Creating avenues for feedback and shared understanding
Supporting employee‑led communities that promote connection and inclusion
Encouraging collaboration that broadens perspectives and builds stronger teams

By deepening connection, we create a culture where all voices are welcomed and valued.

Employee Resource Groups

Everyone deserves a workplace where they feel respected, valued, and connected. Our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) create spaces for team members to share experiences, build community, and access support while fostering inclusion across Centric.

Community

We’re committed to fostering inclusion by amplifying diverse voices, sharing new perspectives, and creating equitable opportunities within our company and in our communities.

Examples include:

Supporting the Wounded Warrior Project, which assists wounded veterans with their transition to the workforce.

Partnering with organizations like Boys & Girls Clubs of America and Big Brothers Big Sisters, both of which focus on improving the lives of children across the country.

Being a Corporate Member of The WIT Network, a “global community of professional women and men who advocate for women and girls to study STEM and enter the technology sector professionally.”

“Belonging is more than a value – it’s the spark that drives growth, creativity, and meaningful impact. When people feel seen, heard, and supported, they thrive, and their contributions lift the entire team. By fostering an environment where every individual can fully show up, we create stronger connections, better outcomes, and lasting impact together.”

Danielle Maldonado, National Senior Manager, Talent Acquisition & Centric Together Lead

Benefits

Whether parents need to drop their kids off at daycare after 9 a.m. or an emergency comes up in the middle of the day, we want everyone to know they’re not tied to their computer.

A primarily remote company from day one, we’re devoted to ensuring all employees have a balanced life. It’s even one of our core values. As such, employees can work a flexible schedule as projects allow and from anywhere they need. Other examples of our drive for balance include our self-managed paid time off (PTO) plan, paid parental leave for new family additions, including foster and adopted children, and support for mothers returning to work after birth.

We also offer flexible health care benefits options, designed to allow employees to make choices that make the most sense for them based on their personal situation. Health care benefit plans include coverage for spouses, domestic partners, and/or family if elected.
