Workforce

Our workforce is at the heart of our mission. Our diverse team was built with the intention to transform education and together they bring a wide range of perspectives, skills, and ideas. We seek out and nurture talent that challenges norms and drives innovation, knowing that our collective differences fuel creativity, excellence, and meaningful progress.

Workplace

Our workplace is a community of growth and respect—a space where teaching, discovery, and social responsibility are nurtured. Every voice matters, every perspective is celebrated, and employees are encouraged to speak up. We achieve this by embedding equity into every process that shapes their experience, fostering a genuine sense of belonging. Together, we use our individual strengths and potential in support of the collective good of every learner.

Marketplace

Our marketplace reflects our commitment to support learners of all backgrounds, needs, and cultures. We're driven by a commitment to creating learning solutions that reflect the realities and needs of every learner, crafting products that solve real-world challenges and adapt through continuous improvement. By staying curious and collaborative, we design educational experiences that empower learners and support meaningful change and societal growth.

Employee Resource Groups at BFW Publishers

At BFW Publishers we value the unique contributions of all our employees and understand the importance of identity, perspective, and community as we show up in our work everyday. We support the work of our Employee Resource Communities (ERCs) and Affinity Groups who provide a framework and a platform for our employees to identify with the voices, issues, challenges, and experiences of the communities they represent. Our ERCs are all inclusive and open to everyone within the company and are engaged in providing educational content, celebrating affinity moments, engaging in community issues, and sponsoring career development opportunities for the communities they represent.
