Statement on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
At the heart of our mission lies our greatest strength: the rich tapestry of human experience that each employee in our organization brings to work every day to fight kidney disease. Our commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for All (DEI 4A) is fundamental to our success. It drives innovation and excellence through the power of different backgrounds and ideas. Together, we build a stronger and more resilient National Kidney Foundation. DEI 4A is not a standalone program or initiative. It is work grounded in legally sound and mission-driven business practices. It is the essence of who we are and embedded across all people practice areas, with no greater emphasis on any demographic as more important than another. We recognize that true diversity encompasses a full spectrum of differences—from backgrounds to cognitive styles and ways of thinking.
​
Equity stands as our cornerstone principle: ensuring equal access to opportunities and resources for all employees and potential employees. We are committed to removing barriers, creating accessible pathways to employment at NKF, and fostering an environment where everyone can thrive and contribute to their fullest potential. We measure progress through empirical data—stay interviews, exit interviews, turnover, and engagement surveys are among these data.
Inclusion is, and must be, our daily practice. Our organizational values guide us in our work to cultivate a workplace where all employees feel respected and empowered to contribute. Through active engagement across all segments of our workforce and the celebration of diverse viewpoints—to name a few—we strive to create a culture of belonging that energizes our workforce and drives sustainable business success.
