Now more than ever, companies recognize the role workforce diversity and inclusion plays in both addressing widespread inequality and enhancing business value. At LPL, we understand it’s our responsibility to incorporate diversity at every level of our workforce and promote equity and inclusion in our culture. We know when diverse voices are integrated in our decision making, our business performs better.
Intentional efforts for tangible results
As part of our emphasis on diversity, equity, and inclusion, we continued to increase the balance of diversity in our organization, across all ranks. We focused on promoting and hiring women and people of color to roles at or above the vice president level, resulting in an increase in diverse representation at the senior levels of LPL.

Employee Development
In 2020, we took a new approach to our Emerging Leaders Program, our flagship initiative for providing development opportunities for high-potential AVPs and VPs. This program became virtual and we shifted the balance to include more women and people of color.
In addition, the Women Business Leaders Program was conducted for 100 women leaders to help empower them while discussing methods to support women within their own teams, including hosting a panel of women in the earlier stages of their careers to share their experiences.
Employee Resource Groups
One of our primary tools for engaging our employees are our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs). We accomplish this through the use of panel discussions, networking, and charitable events. To ensure the voices of our ERGs are heard, each is lead by an LPL executive and provides consultations to our Diversisity, Equity, and Inclusion Council.
