Turning Intentions into Actions
NFA established a Diversity & Inclusion Council in 2021 to provide guidance and support for our many D&I initiatives. The Council comprises NFA employees from different functions, backgrounds, experiences and tenures who have a passion for D&I and a desire to drive positive change in our organization. Council members work on various diversity and inclusion projects, with focus areas including Culture and Engagement, Talent Acquisition Strategy and Community and Social Responsibility.

Employee Resource Groups
At NFA, our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are employee-led and company-supported. Each of these indispensable integrations provides an opportunity for employees with common interests to help develop a positive workplace culture where people of different backgrounds, lifestyles and abilities are appreciated, valued, and given equal opportunities to succeed.
By fostering these groups, we hope our employees feel encouraged and empowered to help make an impact in their communities, build their cross-cultural competency and truly have a say in shaping a workplace they are proud to be a part of.
Be Well @ NFA – ERG
To build a community free of stigma, we strive to make space for and celebrate our shared identities and experiences at NFA. We emphasize that there is no right or wrong way to approach wellness in all of its forms. Whether occupational, mental, physical, emotional, social or spiritual wellness, we are cultivating a system of support to motivate each employee to feel comfortable exploring what works for them.
Mission Statement:
Foster social connection, education, and peer support to help NFA employees manage all aspects of their wellness.
