DIVERSITY INCLUSION
At CDW, we embed diversity and inclusion into the fiber of everything that we do. We ensure all coworkers have the resources required to perform at their highest level – whether it’s collaboration tools, ongoing training or resource groups. We know that tomorrow’s ideas don’t come from yesterday’s thinking, so we prefer working with people who see the world differently.
