Corporate Citizenship
At MAXIMUS, corporate citizenship is embedded in our core mission of Helping Government Serve the People.® We recognize that our role as a business leader includes the responsibility to create a positive impact in the diverse communities where we live, work, and support. We consider our stakeholders’ needs and interests in our decision-making process as we guide our business objectives to achieve long-term growth and sustainability.
MAXIMUS is committed to practicing good corporate citizenship in four main areas: our workplace, our natural environment, our communities, and our business arenas.
Supporting Diversity and Inclusion
Today’s society presents many different challenges. We understand the need to bring a diverse team of talented individuals together to find innovative solutions to improve outcomes and better society. At MAXIMUS, we foster a culture that respects and values individual contributions and differences that spark innovation, leadership, and exceptional performance.
Encouraging diversity is a personal and business imperative for us. We are products of our own individual life experiences and at MAXIMUS we unite our many faces, many thoughts, and many ideas to achieve results. It is recognizing and embracing these qualities that make our successes so much more rewarding.
Empowering our Employees to Reach their Potential
Each MAXIMUS employee has the opportunity to contribute to meaningful change by helping our government clients improve people’s lives. Through the Center for Employee Development and MAXIMUS University, we offer training and development of ethical and professional conduct, core business skills, managing people, managing projects, customer service, customer relationship management, and business development.
Sharing the Environment
In order to ensure that everyone can enjoy the environment to its fullest extent, we must make a conscious effort to reduce our environmental footprint. From using less paper and recycling office materials to conserving energy and reducing waste, learn about how MAXIMUS is committed to protecting and enhancing our environment for future generations.
Building a Community Hand-in-Hand
MAXIMUS goes above and beyond to help our local communities with their needs and concerns. We believe that this commitment will strengthen the bond between our team and the citizens we serve. Around the country, MAXIMUS teams have partnered with community based organizations and non-profit organizations in service projects. Others have been involved in charity events to support those in need. Read about how our project offices are contributing.
The MAXIMUS Charitable Foundation, created by the MAXIMUS Board of Directors, contributes annual grants to organization and charities to help improve the lives of young people.
Running Our Business with Integrity
Our three most important assets are our staff, our clients, and our integrity. Taken together, these elements define our reputation. Our clients have come to depend on our strong ethical standards and solid reputation.
Quality and ethics are the cornerstones upon which MAXIMUS was founded and upon which we continue to operate. We are proud that MAXIMUS employees have always shared a common commitment to accountability, responsibility, and integrity. Our expectation is that MAXIMUS and its employees always conduct business according to the highest standards of ethics and performance.
All employees understand our commitment to act with integrity, which is summarized in our Standards of Business Conduct and Ethics.
