STEVE MADDEN CAREERS
EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT
Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are voluntary groups of employees who join based on shared life experiences or identities to help foster a diverse and inclusive workplace in partnership with their companies. At Steve Madden, ERGs play a critical role in fostering a company culture where all employees feel a sense of belonging and envision a bright future for themselves. Each ERG supports our commitment to diversity and inclusion in unique ways, from influencing internal programming and external messaging, to holding affinity spaces for community support, and encouraging the professional development of its members.

WELLNESS WEDNESDAY
We believe that a robust employee benefits program is essential for attracting and retaining top talent while fostering a supportive and engaged workforce. In 2022, we provided a comprehensive range of wellness programs to cater to our employees’ health and well-being. Our Annual Health Fair offered personalized on-site consultations from our health benefits providers, soothing chair massages, and wholesome snacks. Additionally, we provided onsite flu shots and COVID-19 boosters before the flu season, demonstrating our commitment to safeguarding our employees' health. To place a year-round emphasis on wellness, we introduced Wellness Wednesdays, regular events throughout our NYC office locations where employees can grab healthy snacks, enjoy a relaxing chair massage, and participate in a 15-minute guided meditation.
