Business resource groups offer networking and support along the way
Business resource groups (BRGs) dedicated to the shared characteristics, cultures, interests, and experiences of specific, underrepresented employee populations aim to create a strong sense of belonging at our firm – not only for individual group members, but also for those allied with them. BRGs provide a way for Crowe people to connect with and support each other, find community, and promote inclusion.
“Our team members’ diverse voices, backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences shape the way we do business. At Crowe, our BRGs offer employees a sounding board and a microphone – and they also offer connection. Membership in any BRG is open to all so that our people can learn from one another’s lived experiences.”

Mentorship and sponsorship
A key to retaining top talent is to make sure our people see themselves reflected in our organization and have opportunities to make truly meaningful connections to grow their careers.
Our mentorship and sponsorship programs operate through our DE&I councils to pair professionals at various stages in their Crowe careers with senior leaders across the firm.
These pairings give each protégé an additional layer of support and access to mentors and sponsors who can guide and advocate for them in their pursuit of career advancement.
Taking our journey beyond the walls of Crowe
We know we can’t make a true impact unless we reach beyond our walls and engage in diversity efforts that affect our profession, our future leaders, and our communities.
Crowe in the community
Our diversity efforts don’t stop at our front doors because thriving communities are what build and fuel thriving businesses.
We take our commitment to community seriously and support the communities where we work and live as well as national organizations that improve communities across the country.
For example, during Crowe Cares Day in August 2023, all our offices closed and nearly 5,000 employees came together to volunteer at more than 110 organizations in 40 Crowe communities, logging more than 20,500 volunteer hours.
Campus outreach
Our one-of-a-kind recruiting program with historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) brings Crowe right to the college campus, engaging students throughout their college career.
By offering an internship-to-employment pipeline with mentorship along the way, we spotlight our field and highlight all the ways students can find a career at Crowe.
First held at Florida A&M University (FAMU), we are expanding this program to other campuses nationwide.
Supplier diversity
Our supplier diversity program is an essential part of our overall strategy, mission, and core values. Our procurement efforts reflect this, and we expect the same with our suppliers.
That’s why we support and commit to diverse suppliers – companies that are at least 51% owned, operated, and controlled by minorities, women, veterans, LGBTQ+ people, and people with disabilities.
Grounded in diversity, our culture is supported by the relationships we cultivate with suppliers.
