DIVERSITY IN THE WORKPLACE

Teamwork. Synergy. The collective ideas and insights of our employees forge our solid and unified vision for success.

At Wachovia, we treat people with respect, recognize them for their individuality, and provide opportunity for advancement based on performance. Race, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, work/life status, ethnic origin, culture, spiritual beliefs and practices, age, education level, physical ability, veteran status, and other differences make us unique as individuals and enhance our company as a whole.

A Corporate Diversity Council, lead by CEO Ken Thompson, guides the Wachovia diversity commitment. The Council meets regularly to:

• Define corporate diversity objectives
• Raise awareness and sensitivity to diversity within our company
• Determine the state of affairs within our company and prescribe strategies and action plans when needed
• Implement programs and policies effectively
• Update and improve diversity commitments on an as-needed basis

Our commitment to diversity is also felt outside of our company. Today, we have outreach programs in place that have a significant affect on the communities we serve. These include community development products and services, purchasing programs with minority-owned firms, women’s financial advisory initiatives, and products and services for underserved diverse customer groups.

Wachovia is an active participant in the INROADS internship program. If interested, please contact your local INROADS office for more information.
