IEN is committed to fostering an inclusive workplace and culture that embraces individual differences and creates equal opportunity.

We recognize that diversity enhances organizational innovation and effectiveness. We are strategic about not discriminating against any group, regardless of cognitive, demographic, and other dimensions of diversity. We reject the zero-sum paradigm, defined as "the idea that progress for some of us must come at the expense of others," and recognize the benefits we gain when people come together to accomplish what we simply can't do on our own.
