Forbes named BMO Harris Bank one of the best employers for diversity for the fourth consecutive year.

The best employers for diversity awards are presented by Forbes and Statista. More than 60,000 U.S. employees were surveyed in companies with a minimum of 1,000 employees to identify the best employers for diversity.

“BMO teams are unified around our purpose to boldly grow the good in business and in life,” Tracie Morris, U.S. chief human resources and inclusion officer for BMO Financial Group, said. “We are determined to be bold on diversity and inclusion programs that grow the representation and advancement of diverse talent at BMO. We have set an equally bold agenda on customer products and community investments that drive the economic empowerment of diverse communities. We are thrilled that Forbes and Statista have again recognized our efforts.”

BMO Harris Bank’s placement for the fourth consecutive year is recognition of the impact the bank continues to achieve with Zero Barriers to Inclusion 2025 program. Launched in 2021, the program has led to further progress on gender equality and a focus on ensuring equitable access to development and advancement opportunities. The placement also recognizes the impact being made by BMO Empower, the bank’s $5 billion commitment to address key barriers faced by minority businesses, communities and families.
