For people who are enthusiastic about books and culture, working at an energetic, forward-thinking publisher like HBG is a dream job. The company culture centers on valuing and supporting employees, and transparency and communication are paramount. Staff members are encouraged to use their strengths and challenge themselves and make their voices heard. HBG employees work hard, but they also have fun together. Whether they’re playing pool and eating pizza at the “Third Thursday” get-together every month or enjoying a group sci-fi movie night, Hachette’s team maintains an environment of shared passion and camaraderie.

Just as Hachette Book Group wants readers to see themselves reflected in the pages of their books, they want to champion diversity and foster inclusivity in all their offices. Their Diversity Advisory Group, made up of three subcommittees, spearheads initiatives such as Read Our World, with the mission to promote acceptance, education, and open dialogue through books with diverse authors, characters, and messages. Another program, called Sensitivity Readers, invites employees to read and provide feedback to a book in progress based on their own shared experiences. HBG also partners with associations that promote diversity in the industry, such as We Need Diverse Books, The Children’s Book Council, and the Association of American Publishers.
