Over the years, CBIZ has established several to support diversity and inclusion in the workplace, create networking opportunities, and encourage employees to learn and grow professionally and personally.

CBIZ also has a Young Professionals group (CYP), which helps early-career professionals develop new skills, connect with experienced members and advance their careers.
CBIZ recognizes the value of empowering its female employees. To that end, the company established the CBIZ Women’s Advantage program (CWA). This program offers professional development, mentorship opportunities and career enhancement.

Prioritizing wellness and balance
In addition to helping employees grow professionally, CBIZ prioritizes a well-balanced lifestyle and overall health and wellness by providing various resources and initiatives to support employees’ physical and mental well-being.

Caring for the community
CBIZ’s commitment to making a positive impact in the communities it serves is evident through its CBIZ Cares program. This program encourages employees to give back to their communities by offering paid volunteer time off, service projects, and donation drives. Last year, CBIZ offices, including Colorado, collected over 1.2 million pounds of food for local communities.
“Community is one of our core pillars, and we believe it’s our responsibility to give back to the communities in which we operate,” said Seff.
In today’s fast-paced world, finding a workplace that prioritizes employee growth and well-being while also positively impacting the community may seem like an unachievable goal. However, CBIZ is proving that it’s possible.
