We champion differences, fairness & belonging
We are deeply committed to ensuring every client and associate feels seen, heard and valued.
We intentionally cultivate a culture rooted in support and inclusion, where all voices matter and diverse perspectives are not only welcomed but essential to our growth.
We strive to create equitable and inclusive opportunities to meet the needs of all races, genders, ages, ethnicities, sexual orientations, gender identities, economic statuses and all abilities, backgrounds and perspectives. We empower our associates to thrive through merit and ambition, valuing each person’s unique contributions—regardless of background, identity or demographics.
Our purpose—to positively impact the lives of many—comes to life through our focus on the associate experience, our unwavering client-first mindset and our ongoing investments in the communities we serve through the Mariner Foundation. Belonging is not just a value—it is how we build trust, drive innovation and create lasting impact.
And because we value diversity of talent and experience, we work every day to give people a sense of belonging to a shared mission, led by our CEO and President Marty Bicknell. We believe that, together, we can achieve both our mission and our vision as we look ahead with optimism.

Caring
We care about our clients, associates and our communities. We look out for one another and give to others.
It’s hard to describe our culture that permeates everything we do, but I would use these descriptors: opportunities and operating with the best intentions; challenging and rewarding; fluid and focused; and innovative and realistic.
Kenny Pointer
Chief Services Officer
What I like most about what I do is that it never feels like work. It doesn’t get much better than when you’re able to take care of our clients like you’d want your parents and family to be cared for and to be surrounded by like-minded individuals who want what’s best for their clients and are eager to learn.
