Belonging@Block
Civic and Social Organizations
At H&R Block, we foster a culture of belonging, where every voice is heard & associates feel safe, included & inspired.
About us
This concept of belonging is nested within our Purpose to provide help and inspire confidence in our clients and communities everywhere. And – along with our Block Behaviors – it forms the foundation of our success as a company, helping to Elevate Our Talent & Culture. The positive, collective impact that diversity, inclusion and belonging can have for our associates, our clients and our business has no limits. Put simply, if diversity and inclusion are about facts and intention, belonging is a feeling that tells us it’s safe to bring our whole, authentic selves to work. And – this is key – it’s bigger than age, race, gender, religion or sexual orientation even though sometimes (but not always) it may encompass one or more of those.

As we welcome the Jewish High Holidays, we want to wish everyone celebrating a happy and healthy new year! 🍎🍯 At Block, we believe in fostering a culture of Belonging where everyone feels included and inspired. As our associates around the world observe these important holidays and cultural events, let’s continue to support and respect each other’s traditions. Please be mindful of Rosh Hashanah (October 2-4) and Yom Kippur (October 11-12) when scheduling meetings or events, as some of our colleagues may be taking time off to observe these holidays. #BelongingatBlock #Belonging

Belonging@Block proudly joins Elevate at H&R Block in recognizing and celebrating Juneteenth! In 1865, Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas, to announce the freedom of over 250,000 African Americans—two years after President Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation. While there’s more work ahead, this holiday represents a significant milestone in the ongoing fight for racial justice and equality. Elevate commemorated the day with screenings of “Juneteenth: Celebrating Freedom,” a film by Voices for Equality. The film sheds light on Juneteenth’s history, the immediate aftermath of emancipation, and the vital role of historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) in shaping African American society. You can watch it here: https://lnkd.in/geDrwE63 #juneteenth #freedomday #belonging #belongingatblock #bettertogether
