Diversity
Sentinel is proud to be an employer committed to a diverse, inclusive, and equitable work environment.
Sentinel commits to recruiting, hiring, training, and promoting qualified persons in all job titles, without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, age, marital status, genetics, disability, pregnancy, veteran status, or any other basis protected by law.
Sentinel provides every employee with the tools and resources needed to do their job at the highest level. We train our leaders to understand and identify bias when it occurs, and how to correct it through decision making and actions. Every employee is trained on diversity and inclusion to ensure differences are valued and respected at all levels.
Each year we conduct a third-party audit analyzing our recruitment, hiring, promotion, termination and active employee data, including a review of compensation to understand our success and identify areas for improvement. We strongly affirm all employees deserve to be included, valued, and paid equitably for the work they deliver.
Sentinel is first and foremost a service company, and that means our business focuses on people. Extraordinary thinkers. Entrepreneurial spirited. Motivated to accelerate.
