Our approach
Taking care of our people and our communities means dedicating the time, energy and resources to contribute to their growth, success and well-being. Quad takes its responsibility to our employees and the communities in which we do business seriously, investing in programs, policies, practices and development efforts to ensure all feel safe, welcome, heard and supported inside and outside our walls.
“At Quad, our values are at the center of our unique and welcoming culture, driving us to act with urgency and purpose to create a place where everyone can thrive.”

- Supporting employees who are leading and driving change through our employee BRGs.
