Maximus Engages WilmerHale to Perform Racial Equity Audit<\/b><\/p>\n

Maximus Remains Committed to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion to Positively Impact Our Employees and Communities Served<\/i><\/p>\n

TYSONS, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–Maximus<\/a> (NYSE: MMS), a leading employer and provider of government services worldwide, has engaged the law firm Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP (\u201cWilmerHale\u201d) to perform a racial equity audit. As part of the audit, WilmerHale will assess the company\u2019s operations, policies, ongoing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (\u201cDE&I\u201d) efforts, and public engagement through a racial equity lens.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe WilmerHale team will solicit input from a variety of stakeholders. WilmerHale has significant experience conducting equity audits, culture reviews, and other assessments of civil rights issues for clients in several sectors.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThe racial equity audit demonstrates Maximus\u2019 unwavering commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion as one of the cornerstone principles of who we are as a company,\u201d said Bruce Caswell, President and CEO. \u201cWe have made it a company-wide priority to create a diverse and inclusive culture because it\u2019s the right thing to do. It\u2019s central to our mission to positively impact communities across the country, and around the world, whom we have the privilege to serve.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nThis audit will build upon Maximus\u2019 DE&I efforts. Human Resources senior leadership focused on the need for a DE&I strategy in early 2020 by hiring Dr. Arvenita Washington Cherry, Senior Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. In collaboration with a range of stakeholders, she evolved the DE&I strategy by conducting employee listening sessions, developing company-wide unconscious bias training and assessment for people managers, launching Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), a monthly cultural heritage recognition program, and Community Conversations where Maximus employees can discuss and learn about racial, ethnic, and other social justice issues respectfully and productively. \u201cOur racial equity and justice work involves assessment of our policies and practices to ensure they are equitable, inclusive and sustain a workplace of belonging,\u201d said Dr. Cherry. \u201cMaximus leadership, from the top down, is focused on equal opportunity and inclusion, and the racial equity audit will enable us to expand our efforts and forge a path forward.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nA report based on the results of the racial equity audit conducted by WilmerHale will be published upon completion, which is expected in 2023.\n<\/p>\n
