Employee Resource Groups
Making Connections to Uplift One Another
Our employee-led resource groups foster relationships, offer insights, and support diversity initiatives. They enhance personal and professional growth through resources, support, and facilitated networking.
Bridging eDiscovery and Minorities (BEAM) organizes activities, provides professional development opportunities, and facilitates discussions that support and enhance the experiences of racial and ethnic minorities in the workplace. Through thought-provoking workshops, speaker engagements, and employee-focused sessions, the group ensures a safe space for networking, exchanging ideas and information, and mentoring.
MAST is a community at Lighthouse that serves as a support system for employees with family members serving in the Armed Forces. It facilitates activities and resources that help members of the military community at Lighthouse feel more connected and supported. Additionally, it helps uphold Lighthouse's strong commitment and appreciation for the military community through outreach.
Pride@Lighthouse is a community of lesbian, bisexual, gay, transgender, nonbinary, queer, questioning, intersex, asexual, and allied employees. It is dedicated to promoting an inclusive, diverse, and equitable workplace and supporting efforts to recruit and retain LGBTQIA+ identified employees. Members serve as a visible and accessible resource for all employees, providing support, community networking, and social opportunities. Through these activities, Pride@Lighthouse creates a more inclusive community where everyone can feel respected and valued for who they are.
The Relationship and Family Ties (RAFT) group facilitates interaction and building connections among colleagues on topics related to personal relationships that often impact and bear weight at work. The purpose of this group is to create opportunities for discussion and to provide resources and support to help employees navigate many of the common issues faced within interpersonal and familial relationships outside of work.
WLEAD is a community that supports women in leadership roles by offering a range of opportunities, including information sharing, workshops, engaging speaker sessions, and focused networking events. The group aims to empower women to build and strengthen their management abilities, seeking to move them into top leadership positions across the company. Whether you're a seasoned professional or just starting your career, WLEAD is committed to providing a supportive and inspiring community to help you thrive as a female leader.
Lighthouse has a brag-worthy company culture. Leadership is sincerely invested in employees as they mentor your growth and are actively engaged to drive a work/life balance. A workday feels more like a productive session with friends, as everyone has great energy and positive vibes. At a personal level, I have grown as a professional, but more importantly as a person—LH's Autism and BEAM Employee Resource Groups have provided a support platform that led me to join the Board of Directors at a local non-profit Autism Society chapter. Professional and personal passions merge at LH!

As a recruiter, it is critical I believe Lighthouse is the best place to work and echoes my personal values. This company not only fosters professional development, but it also takes diversity and inclusion seriously and strives to make the world a better place. I’ve had the chance to participate in Lighthouse’s women’s networking groups and charity initiatives that fight homelessness and stand up to social injustices. Great company, but more importantly, great people.

One of the things I enjoy most about working at Lighthouse is the diverse group of people that work here and how Lighthouse fosters a company culture that encourages opportunities for us to learn from each other. This includes everything from day-to-day operations to our DE&I programs. I love being able to work with people from different backgrounds and learning the from the experiences they bring to Lighthouse.
