Our Commitment To Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

NAMI values and is strengthened by diversity. At NAMI, we believe a diverse, inclusive and equitable organization is one where all employees, volunteers and members — regardless of gender, race, gender identity, ethnicity, national origin, age, sexual orientation, education, disability, veteran status or other dimension of diversity — feel valued and respected. We prioritize diversity, equity and inclusion as an integral part of our culture.

We are committed to providing informed, authentic leadership for cultural equity and modeling diversity and inclusion for the entire NAMI alliance. We shall:

• See diversity, inclusion and equity as critical to ensure the well-being of our staff.
• Identify and dismantle inequities within our policies, systems, programs and services.
• Explore potential underlying, unquestioned assumptions that interfere with inclusiveness.
• Practice and encourage transparent communication with staff.
• Lead with respect and tolerance.

We expect all employees to embrace this notion and to express it in workplace interactions and through everyday practice. We are committed to a nondiscriminatory approach and to providing equal opportunity for employment, participation and advancement in all programs and worksites.

Our Commitment To Pay Equity

Our fair compensation philosophy is important. We conduct salary surveys and analyze relevant market pay data on a regular basis. NAMI is committed to fair and equitable hiring with salaries based on relevant factors, such as work experience, education and certification/licensure (rather than wage history).

Toward the principle of equal pay for equal work, we post and hire within defined hiring salary ranges. We ask all applicants to carefully review the hiring salary range for each posted job opportunity, as we will not hire outside the predetermined range.
