Womble Bond Dickinson has achieved Mansfield Certification Plus for 2023–24. This is the sixth consecutive year the firm has been recognized in the Mansfield report.

Mansfield is a year-long, structured certification process that Womble has been committed to since 2018 to ensure all talent has a fair and equal opportunity to advance into leadership. The focus is on opening the door wider and ensuring that opportunities for advancement are transparent and inclusive for everyone. By asking that at least 30 percent of participating firm’s talent pools considered for leadership roles consist of underrepresented groups and that advancement processes are transparent, Mansfield creates a level playing field for all.

To achieve Plus designation, firms voluntarily provided data to Diversity Lab to show progress and outcomes of their efforts to broaden talent pools and increase the visibility of advancement processes.

Data shows that firms that remain committed and accountable to the Mansfield Certification process year-over-year are making substantial progress in creating inclusive talent practices and diversifying their leadership ranks. Womble has experienced positive progress since joining Mansfield, and the firm remains committed to taking measurable actions to ensure that its processes are inclusive.
