Equity and Inclusion

Our differences help us innovate with purpose. With a mission to create a safe, healthy, more equitable nation, the diverse backgrounds, experiences, and skills of our teams are invaluable to our success. Providing an environment where everyone feels valued, supported, and excited to come to work is not an option, it’s an expectation—reflecting our promise to each and every member of our team.

Supporting equity, inclusion, accessibility and belonging are critical to understanding the power of perspective when creating government solutions that must work for all.

Our commitment to building processes and programs upon equitable practices and diverse perspectives ensures every employee feels valued, supported, and recognized for what they offer to our community and our customers.”

"Cognosante empowers me to be my best. The social stigma of being transgender at work has often made me feel unwelcome, and often I felt relegated to positions where I could be avoided. Cognosante trusts me to perform as part of an amazing development team, and being able to represent others while building relationships with our customers has given me an enormous amount of satisfaction, pride, and belonging."

"Cognosante’s culture fosters a genuine sense of belonging. I have previously felt discouraged as a gay man navigating the corporate landscape that often lacks representation of my identity. At Cognosante, I am encouraged to bring my most authentic self to the workplace so I can build meaningful relationships with my colleagues who are passionate about the work we do. At Cognosante, I feel appreciated, supported, and trusted as part of the team."

"Joining BOLD helped me connect with others like me when I came to Cognosante. It is a safe space to connect while providing a listening ear to the experiences and concerns that many of us may have handled alone previously in our careers. Seeing other Black professionals and allies, at all levels, come together to support that mission, has created an inspiring space to learn, grow, and set new professional goals."
