At Acxiom, we believe in recruiting associates who want to become part of a diverse company culture that welcomes a wide array of behaviors, beliefs, practices and work processes. In order to maximize the performance of all associates, deliver significant return on investment, and create unparalleled value for our clients, an inclusive work environment is necessary. We are an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer, and we do not discriminate in recruiting, hiring, training, promotion or other employment of associates or the awarding of subcontracts because of a person’s race, color, sex, age, religion, national origin, veteran status, disability, sexual orientation, genetics or other protected status.
An Inclusive Workplace
We believe in preserving a diverse work environment – not only for its own sake, but also to maximize the performance of our associates and create value for our clients. Acxiom is committed to maintaining an environment where associates feel recognized, inspired and challenged and who also believe the company values and appreciates their contributions to the workplace. As a part of our core values, we believe teamwork is the key to our overall effectiveness because it allows us to leverage our diverse individual strengths and achieve great things together.
Valuing Differences
For all associates, we emphasize the importance of diversity through a number of initiatives. Internally, we publicize information about multicultural global holidays to help our associates learn about and appreciate the cultural practices of their colleagues. We also participate in industry forums and have provided scholarships to organizations that promote equal opportunity, including the Arkansas Industry Liaison Group and the Black Data Processing Associates, a nationwide group devoted to preparing minority professionals in our industry.
Acxiom also promotes diversity in the companies we choose to work with as subcontractors. Our comprehensive Supplier Diversity program helps ensure that minority-, women- and small business-owned firms are given an equal opportunity to compete for business opportunities with our company.
