Mark Roellig, general counsel at insurance giant MassMutual, details how a strong diversity and inclusion mandate from the top has shaped the organization’s approach.
Diversity for me has been an issue I’ve been passionate about throughout my career. It’s certainly something which has evolved over time, but it’s rooted in my upbringing. My parents were very involved in the Civil Rights Movement back in the 1960s, so from an early age it has been ingrained in us as children that concepts like civil rights, diversity and valuing differences were the right thing to do.
