Diversity Equity & Inclusion

At Crescent Communities, we both welcome and celebrate diversity in our offices and on our job sites. Because real progress can only be made when everyone has a seat at the table, we have launched a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Task Force as a tool to address disparities, encourage inclusion and create opportunities.

Crescent Communities recognizes and values a diverse and inclusive workforce. Diversity embodies all of the differences: life experiences, work experiences, perspectives, cultures, religions, ethnicities, gender, age, socioeconomic status, and other aspects of life, all that make us unique individuals. Crescent Communities seeks diversity in its employees, values their differences, and endeavors to treat all employees with respect.
