Our Culture Commitment
At Boulay, we are committed to an inclusive, curious, and diverse culture, where each team member is celebrated, empowered to be their best unique self, and dedicated to helping others do the same. We believe that maximizing each team member’s potential and sense of belonging achieves greater success for all.
The Impact of an inclusive culture on our People & Firm
Boulay appreciates that not only does an inclusive environment benefit our people, but it also furthers our business goals. A diverse, equitable and inclusive culture creates a welcoming workplace, empowers our team members to feel valued and offer greater contributions, and establishes a sense of belonging. An inclusive culture also enhances productivity, fosters greater collaboration, develops better and new solutions through diverse ideas and perspectives, and attracts and retains valued clients and top talent. While we’re not looking to change our team members’ beliefs or advocate for specific political positions, we do seek to educate and provide opportunities for action. We strive to provide team members the opportunity to expand our culture, rather than fit into it.
Our Culture & Inclusion Pillars
We aim to create an inclusive culture in every aspect of our firm by focusing on:
Culture & Inclusion Focus Areas
OUR CULTURE & INCLUSION JOURNEY
Employee Resource Groups
The Women’s Inclusion Network Group for Success (WINGS) aims to empower women to thrive in the workplace and foster an inclusive culture of allyship that promotes gender equity for all colleagues at Boulay. By creating a supportive forum, providing resources and tools to address challenges, and celebrating the strengths of diversity, WINGS supports women’s growth, contributions, and impact on the innovation and overall well-being of the entire organization.
The Remote Employees Advocating for Connection and Harmony (REACH) group enhances the remote team member experience by fostering a connected and inclusive community. REACH provides resources, opportunities, and initiatives that promote professional development, well-being, and collaboration, regardless of physical location. By championing the unique needs of remote team members, REACH strives to empower our remote workforce to achieve their full potential and contribute meaningfully to Boulay’s success.
The Enhancing Mental Peace, Optimism, Wellness, Empathy and Resilience (EMPOWER) group fosters a supportive and inclusive environment where all team members feel empowered and encouraged to prioritize their mental wellbeing. By promoting awareness, educating on mental health stigma, and providing resources that enhance resilience and mental wellness, EMPOWER aims to create a workplace culture that values mental health as an essential component of professional success and personal fulfillment.
Community and Connection
Our team members are encouraged to get involved within Boulay’s culture by participating in various programs and committees. Though each of these serve a different purpose, all foster professional development, connection among colleagues and personal growth for our team members.
The B-Teams promote team member connectedness, community involvement and wellness through events and initiatives and create opportunities for our team to: B-Together (helping team members learn, laugh, and play), B-Involved (providing opportunities to be of service to our communities), and B-Well (promoting team member well-being).
Boulay’s innovation group, BVolve, inspires a culture of creativity and continuous improvement. This group works to uncover, develop and take action on new ideas across the firm, leading to constant innovations in how we serve clients and each other.
The Boulay Leadership Enhancement and Development Series (LEADS) provides leadership training and education for our team members as they grow and develop in their career at Boulay. LEADS is comprised of three levels, each with a unique focus and geared for different levels of experience.
Boulay’s Culture & Inclusion Committee is comprised of 12 team members from varying departments and levels across the firm. These team members work to execute inclusive strategic initiatives and planning, while serving as advocates and influencers at the firm.
Boulay’s Mentor Program partners team members with appropriate mentors who assist and support their professional development at Boulay. In addition to building meaningful relationships, mentors aid their mentees in their career growth and work/life integration.
The One Boulay Financial Education Series allows our team members to share their specialized knowledge with others across the firm by covering relevant topics and offering actionable advice that helps our team members engage in proactive planning for their financial futures.
Rising Early Professionals (REP) provides opportunities for development and connection among Boulay’s early-career professionals.
