Alliant Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

In October, Alliant’s Diversity, Equity & Inclusion department had the privilege of hosting Michelle Silverthorn, Founder & CEO of Inclusion Nation, for a virtual Culture Catalyst event “From Intention to Action: Ten Rules for Allyship in the Workplace.” Through real-world examples and thought-provoking discussion, this workshop delved into the complexities of allyship, its critical role in fostering belonging, and actionable ways we can all engage in intersectional advocacy. Did you attend this event? If so, what was your favorite takeaway? Share with us in the comments! #AlliantInsurance #DiversityEquityInclusion

This Veterans Day, we honor and appreciate all those who have served our country. Your commitment has shaped the freedoms we enjoy, and we are profoundly grateful. We especially thank our colleagues who are veterans. Your dedication to service, the strength you bring to our team, and the invaluable perspectives you offer enrich Alliant in countless ways. In this spirit, our Veterans at Alliant employee resource group (ERG) is dedicated to fostering a deeper understanding of the veteran experience. Through this group, we strive to create a supportive, inclusive environment where we can learn from one another, share stories, and apply those lessons to continually improve our workplace and the communities we serve. November also marks National Veteran and Military Families month, and we extend our gratitude to the families of our veterans. Their unwavering support, resilience, and sacrifices are vital to the success of those who serve, and their role is never forgotten. Thank you to all veterans and military families. #AlliantInsurance #VeteransDay #DiversityEquityInclusion

Today, we honor Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), a vibrant and meaningful tradition celebrated in Mexico and across Latin American cultures. This observance, held on November 1st and 2nd, is a beautiful way to remember and celebrate loved ones who have passed. It blends joy with remembrance, serving as a powerful reminder of the importance of family, heritage, and the enduring impact of those who have shaped our lives. #DiaDeLosMuertos #AlliantInsurance #DiversityandInclusion

Shubh Diwali to our colleagues and community who celebrate. As Diwali brings light to homes and hearts, may it also inspire unity and understanding across all communities. May the diyas (clay lamps) that adorn this Festival of Lights remind us of the inner light we share, guiding us toward peace and prosperity together. #AlliantInsurance #DiversityEquityInclusion

Alliant joins our Sikh colleagues and community in celebrating the birth of the Guru Granth Sahib, one of the most sacred observances in Sikhism. On this day in 1708, Guru Gobind Singh declared the holy scripture as the eternal, living Guru, guiding Sikhs with its teachings of truth, equality, and devotion. This day serves as a reminder of the wisdom, love, and unity found in the Guru Granth Sahib, inspiring Sikhs around the world to live with compassion and humility. #AlliantInsurance #DiversityandInclusion

In September, Alliant’s Diversity, Equity & Inclusion department hosted a panel of representatives from the LAAIA - Latin American Association of Insurance Agencies moderated by Alliant's Latinos at Alliant employee resource group co-leaders, Jackie Costales and Vanessa Castellanos. During this virtual Culture Catalyst session, we examined intersectional allyship and how colleagues can better support and show up for one another as allies in the workplace. #AlliantInsurance #DiversityandInclusion
