The Black Employee Network (BEN) has been actively engaged within the community as they strive to raise cultural awareness and foster a sense of belonging.
Throughout June, BEN was able to host internal events and participate in external conferences. The Employee Resource Group held a 2-part series seminar discussing Black haircare and identity. This was a great initiative to explore the rich cultural significance of Black haircare, as well as foster a deeper understanding and appreciation.
As Juneteenth approached, BEN utilized firmwide communication to shed insight into what the holiday proudly represents and recognized its profound historical significance, a powerful reminder of our country’s ongoing journey toward equality and justice.
“I’m excited to celebrate Juneteenth with Biovell and reflect on our ability to collaborate and create an environment that is inclusive to all. Today is a day to share the historical importance of the sacrifices that were made and continue to be made to eliminate racial injustice with family and friends” – Obi Nwude, Associate Director
On an external front, BEN represented Biovell at the National Association of Black Accountants (NABA) conference. This premier occasion offered a unique opportunity to engage with industry leaders, expand professional networks, and highlight Biovell’s steadfast commitment to diversity and inclusion.
The Black Employee Network exemplifies Biovell’s core values daily, as their participation within the firm and community strengthens the commitment to an inclusive, respectful, and authentic culture.
