We believe enhancing our attention to and actions in the company's diversity, equity and inclusion approach is the right thing to do for our employees, those in our care and our communities.

We work hard to attract, develop, and retain the best-qualified, most diverse group of employees we can find. But diversity is only part of the equation. We also want an equitable and inclusive culture that is accepting of differences and open to new ideas. We believe when we do this well, the evidence shows up in increased employee engagement and belongingness, better retention, innovative ideas and improvements in business outcomes.

We rely on input from our DEI Advisory Council comprised of a diverse group of employees from the field and headquarters. The Council's purpose is to advise, guide and recommend actions to the leaders of CoreCivic that support a more diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace.
