Diversity

Urmi Khan-Islam "I have always felt that I belonged here. The people are smart, hard-working, and accommodating, especially to colleagues of different cultures. Everyone is treated with dignity and respect from the person working in the warehouse to the senior management team. The friendly, family feeling, along with the recognition of my contribution, makes it a pleasure for me to come to work each day."
- Urmi Khan-Islam, Accounts Payable Coordinator, Wiley Canada

We offer equal employment opportunity, development, and advancement for all qualified individuals and are committed to attracting and retaining a talented and diverse workforce that will allow us to compete effectively in a global marketplace.

While there are certain challenges that come with having offices in 20 countries around the world, Wiley benefits from the diversity these global locations bring.

  • Participate in a human resources best practices initiative with Singapore's Tripartite Alliance for Fair Employment Practices, as well as the Australian government's "Employer of Choice for Women" program; 
  • Participate in college and university diversity career fairs and post jobs on career services Web sites; 
  • Hire students for summer and school-year internships, which give them an advantage when being considered for opportunities following graduation; and
