Work with purpose
Every day at BHG is a chance to save lives and restore communities. Join us.
Racial equity
At BHG, we believe that all humans are created equal, and that we are at our best when we embrace our unique differences. We also recognize that people of color often lack access to medication-assisted treatment, critical mental health services, and healthcare services in general. We pledge to be intentional and proactive in our outreach to all underserved populations in our communities, and to continue the fight for access to care.
Diversity and inclusion
Actively advancing diversity and inclusion in the workplace allows all employees to feel accepted and valued. When this happens, individuals are happier in their workplace and often stay longer with a company. Our diverse workforce offers a wide array of experiences, skills, perspectives, and insights, which increases innovation, creativity, problem solving, and strategic thinking.
For all the reasons that diversity and inclusion are important to us, we’ve outlined several steps to guide us as we move forward:
Hiring practices
BHG’s policy is to create and support a diverse and inclusive workforce, both in our corporate office and in our treatment centers. We want a team that is reflective of the population we serve, and we want to offer all interested individuals the prospect of internal advancement with BHG.
We are proud of the diversity that has been built into the leadership team. At the board and advisory board level, 33% are women or minorities; at the executive management level, 42% are women or minorities; and at the middle management level, 72% are women or minorities.
We are committed to continually assessing our compensation structure and practices related to career advancement to ensure opportunity for all of our employees.
Training and development
Establishing a diversity and inclusion training program for the organization is instrumental as we look to increase respectful and positive interactions in the workplace. The training will include a leadership track as well as an employee learning track. Each role across the company has a role-specific learning path within our learning management system. We will continuously assess our learning and development training needs to keep them relevant.
Vendor relationships
We work with many vendors across the country. Moving forward, we will prioritize vendors who have documented diversity and inclusion policies in place. This includes contractors for building projects, suppliers, and those who provide cleaning and maintenance of our facilities.
We will make every effort to support women-owned and BIPOC-owned businesses in the future. We will also assess our current vendor relationships, ensuring they’re aligned with our views on racial justice and equality.
Community involvement
Our commitment to our patients and one another is tied inextricably to our commitment to the communities we serve. This philosophy is based on the premise that every for-profit company not only has an obligation to its employees, customers, and investors, but also to the communities it serves.
To start, we recently made a sizable donation to the City of Dallas, asking the mayor to invest in programs and policies that promote racial sensitivity, social justice, and the elimination of gender inequities.
