In order to foster an inclusive culture, Northern Trust focused on initiating the launch of two Business Resource Councils (employee networks) dedicated to Women in Leadership and Multi-culturalism. We are hosting a series of events throughout the year to celebrate diversity andinclusion in the workplace.
