A new T. Rowe resource group

On the heels of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities — an annual United Nations-sanctioned observance to promote an understanding of disability issues and mobilizing support for the dignity, rights and well-being of individuals with disabilities — Baltimore-based investment firm T. Rowe Price introduced its THRIVE resource group.

“The global mission of THRIVE @ T. Rowe Price is to promote awareness, education, and acceptance of the broad spectrum of conditions affecting our associates to create an inclusive, supportive working environment that fosters a sense of belonging and appreciation of our differences,” said T. Rowe’s head of diversity and corporate responsibility Raymone Jackson in a release sent to Technical.ly. “Our vision for inclusion at T. Rowe Price would not be complete without having a global BRG specifically dedicated to our associates with diverse abilities.”

THRIVE @ T. Rowe Price might unite individuals at the company who share common characteristics, interests or experiences. It aims to cultivate a workplace environment that is both inclusive and supportive.
