Here's what Forsyth has to say about Diversity and Inclusion at Wellmark:

At Wellmark, diversity and inclusion are fundamental to who we are and what we do. Diversity of experiences, ideas, cultures, and beliefs drives us to achieve greater success and sustainable results. Investing in an inclusive workforce and workplace garners innovation, connectivity, and commitment. Combining diversity with inclusion is essential to reaching our potential as a company.

 

We are all different, so recognizing, respecting, and maximizing these differences provides us a significant competitive advantage in the marketplace.
