Our commitment to creating a diverse and inclusive world is woven into the very fabric of the company. It extends beyond our walls to encompass all the ways we serve our colleagues, customers and the communities where we live and work. We understand that this commitment makes us stronger in every aspect, enabling us to do even more to address critical economic needs and build stronger communities. By working toward a world where everyone is seen, heard and respected, we are helping those we serve be ready for the best possible tomorrow.
Fostering a culture of inclusion
A diverse workforce and inclusive culture are fundamental to our growth and success. Increasing the representation of all people on our teams is an ongoing process. We remain committed to continuing our progress and growing our teams, so our colleagues better represent our communities and customers.
Citizens promises to ensure that all interested candidates can successfully participate in our recruitment process. If you're an individual with a disability or require a reasonable accommodation, visit our Job Seeker Help policy.
Made Ready to Connect
Our colleagues come from a variety of backgrounds, origins and cultures, with differing life experiences and abilities. Membership in one or more of our active and growing Business Resource Groups (BRGs) lets you contribute to Citizens' culture and provides an opportunity to support your fellow colleagues, as well as our customers, communities and shareholders. We're taking thoughtful and measurable steps to drive efforts that foster a more future-ready, diverse, and inclusive workforce to propel Citizens forward. More than 5% of all colleagues participate in at least one BRG.

Aspire Works provides guidance and training to our new hires, managers and colleagues for the first 90 days.
