In this article, we’ll share more about how Alight cares about their people, as well as the culture, benefits and programs they’ve put in place to help Alight colleagues thrive. 

How DE&I is at the core of Alight Solutions.

Alight believes that diversity should be visible, valued and sustained throughout the organization, and they are committed to enabling an inclusive culture of belonging that engages all colleagues and grows the diversity of their talent to proudly represent the clients and communities they serve. 

For Alight, inclusion is a verb. It is the act of creating an environment where colleagues can bring their whole selves to work, reach their full potential and feel that they belong. And, when they act inclusively and colleagues feel they belong, that action is reflected in Alight’s diversity. 

For example, globally, Alight’s workforce is now made up of 60% women and 45.3% women in leadership at the director and above level. 

They achieve such increases in diversity by cultivating a culture of belonging; improving the acquisition, development and retention of diverse talent; affirming their diversity; diversifying their portfolio; infusing Alight culture into their client experiences; having a dedicated Global 

Inclusion and Diversity office and providing Global Colleague-Led Communities (CLCs). These CLCs include the: 

● Able@Alight

● Asian Professional Network 

● Black Professional Network 

● Latinx Professional Network 

● Pride/LGBTQ+ Professional Network 

● Virtual Professional Network 

● Women’s Professional Network 

● Team VALOR 

● Young Professionals Network

A focus on professional development. 

At Alight, they view career development as a No. 1 priority. “We believe development is all about broadening the experiences and acquiring new knowledge, skills and abilities that enhance colleagues’ work performance,” shares the company. 

And, this belief is more than talk — Alight invests in the development of their employees annually, with the company averaging approximately $300 per colleague for formal training and education. 

In 2021, colleagues consumed over one million hours of training, with an average of approximately 38.5 hours of training per colleague. This development can take on many forms, including professional certifications and recertifications, Alight Academy courses, industry conferences and off-site programs. 

And, in regards to career progression, Alight supports this “via regular dialogue [on] continuing education and development through various formal and informal learning sessions, peer information sharing and online learning opportunities,” the company explains. As part of this, they use their Alight Career Growth Model to help colleagues reflect and identify their current career stage. With this model, colleagues can build, specialize, expand or advance their career. 

One example of this focus on professional development is Alight's Early Career Development program, which is committed to building a diverse group of future leaders within their organization. This program offers an opportunity to leverage the power of your degree into real career momentum by offering instructor-led, web-based and on-the-job training, mentor support and extensive networking with their development platform to help you achieve success.
