Our Commitments

Recognizing the inherent diversity in the kingdom of God, Baker Book House Company is dedicated to the importance of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) in the books we publish, in our community of employees, and in the way we conduct ourselves in our workplace and in the marketplace. Through our DEIB Advisory Council, we are actively seeking opportunities to advance the work of DEIB within our company, creating a more inclusive, representative, and welcoming workplace. We intentionally seek to publish underrepresented voices in our books and to build strong relationships with our local community and the wider publishing industry.

Our DEIB Advisory Council is especially focused on the following three areas:

Recruitment and Retention

We are committed to hiring and retaining a diverse workforce through equitable and inclusive policies and practices that demonstrate respect, cultivate belonging, and honor the value of all employees.

Equipping and Empowering the Workforce

We provide employees with tools and training for professional growth and empower employees to realize their full potential within the company.

External Relationships and Communication

We represent the diverse interests of our employees and practice our commitment to DEIB as we engage with our community, neighbors, and publishing partners.
