The Wichita Business Journal’s 2024 Diversity & Inclusion Awards honoree class includes 14 individuals and 20 organizations in the Wichita area that stand out at making their companies and the community a more diverse and equitable environment. Our 6 Meridian team is honored to be recognized among them!
At 6 Meridian, we are deeply committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive environment. This commitment is not just a corporate policy but a lived experience for our team members. Employees receive the space, time, and support to thrive as individuals both in the office and within the community.
Watch our video to hear about our founding values, how we are living out that vision, and the impact it has had on one member of our team.
Employees, like Markus Phox and Jessica Atherton, have experienced this commitment firsthand. Markus shares his thoughts on how our inclusive culture has impacted his work experience.
“At 6 Meridian, diversity and inclusion have continually been at the heart of what we do. When I joined the team, I was amazed by the level of support we receive to create a more inclusive work environment and client experience. This is especially crucial in our industry, where diversity isn’t constantly prioritized. Our leadership team is incredible at listening to feedback and taking real steps to enhance our already great work environment. I truly believe this quality commitment in every aspect of our business is why we continue to thrive and not settle for just good enough.”
– Markus Phox, Wealth Advisor Associate
Jessica also shares her perspective on how 6 Meridian’s commitment to diversity and inclusion has enriched her experience.
“We have four generations of professionals in the office at 6 Meridian, each with varying educational backgrounds, family dynamics, and life experiences. Yet, we are unified by our dedication. This dedication is evident every day as we leverage our diverse abilities and experiences to elevate our work for our clients’ success. It also extends into the community, with many of us dedicating time to serving on boards, volunteering with non-profits, and ensuring our community thrives. It’s truly invigorating to be part of a team that is diverse in many ways, but consistently allows each other to show up authentically and be valued members of the team.”
– Jessica Atherton, Director of Marketing
