We've always believed that doing well in our business means putting heart and soul into everything we do. 

It's simply who we are. 

In the hometowns we serve, among our associates, and with our business partners, our goal is always the same:  to do the right thing always.  
Fostering a culture of belonging  In 2022, we signed the Open to All pledge, affirming our commitment to work towards greater equality and a sense of belonging for all. As an Open to All signatory, we form part of a nationwide coalition of businesses that support policies, resources and education for our associates.
Creating connections Associate Resource Groups (ARG) are created based on associate interest, providing more opportunities to share common interests and identities and foster a culture of belonging.
Diversifying talent We continue to expand our candidate reach through partnerships with organizations like the Military Spouse Employment Program. We also actively update internal tools and resources in our interviewing and hiring process to align with our People First Promise, ensuring that job descriptions, interviewing guides and associates embrace a culture of inclusion.

Associate Resource Groups

In support of our goal to create a culture of belonging, we offer opportunities for connection through Associate Resource Groups (ARGs). We set out to establish ARGs that accomplished at least one of the following: 

To foster a positive and inclusive environment for all maurices associates. 
To spread awareness and promote allyship. 
To influence the culture and make a more equitable and welcoming workplace.
To offer camaraderie and build relationships across the organization through shared hobbies & activities.  
To provide professional and personal development opportunities to associates.  

All ARGs are available to corporate and district leadership associates. 
We are also excited to test the scalability of ARGs at the store level with Diversity, Equity & Belonging and Military ARGs extended to select full time store associates.
