Our team of professionals is our most important asset. Annaly’s highly skilled individuals come to work every day committed to the long-term success and growth of our Company – and we are committed to promoting their well-being, engagement, development and full potential.

Our People

We emphasize workplace ownership, inclusion and excellence and are committed to attracting, developing and retaining the best talent, who have diverse experiences, perspectives and backgrounds.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

We believe that diversity, equity, and inclusion (“DEI”) are key to our ability to deliver strong shareholder returns. As such, they are embedded in our values and are essential tenets of our organizational culture. The multidimensional diversity of our employees is critical to ensuring a broad range of thought and experience throughout our Company, cultivating innovation, creativity, and agility. We believe that diversity is multifaceted and drives enhanced performance and, ultimately, value for our employees and shareholders.

Equal Employment Opportunity Reporting

Annaly recognizes the value of public disclosure of standardized data across companies and industries and, as a result, we are committed to releasing our EEO-1 data annually. The EEO-1 report is mandated by federal statute and filed annually with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

Women at Annaly

Investing in the advancement of women is a key priority for Annaly. As such, we have expanded our initiatives focused on advancing gender diversity, which includes professional development, mentorship and internal employee engagement. Business performance data – as well as our principled convictions – highlight that when women have meaningful business roles, company performance is enhanced and sustained.

Annaly strives to achieve gender diversity across all levels of our Company.

Employee Engagement, Satisfaction and Feedback

In 2023, we conducted our sixth annual employee engagement survey. We utilize “The Annaly Experience” survey(1) as a means of measuring our corporate culture and employee engagement. With a 90% response rate and overall engagement well above the U.S. Diversified Financials average, the survey represented a comprehensive and inclusive pulse on our population, providing us with authentic and meaningful feedback.

 

We are proud that our high engagement levels represent and span across the firm. Furthermore, we learned that team and manager engagement have a profound impact on individual engagement. It is rewarding to see our collaborative and caring culture combined with our management development and networking efforts resulted in high engagement at the individual level.

We will continue using our annual employee engagement survey to identify our strengths and areas for improvement and to measure the impact of a multitude of initiatives.

Corporate and Employee Philanthropy and Volunteerism

Through our corporate philanthropy and volunteerism program, Annaly Gives Back, we partner with high-impact nonprofit organizations to provide a meaningful contribution to the communities where we live, work and invest. Annaly’s corporate giving strategy remains focused in three areas:

 

  • Promoting housing stability through supportive and affordable housing
  • Supporting the advancement and professional development of underrepresented populations in finance
  • Supporting employee donations, volunteerism and engagement

 

Since 2015, Annaly has contributed over $2 million in employee donations and corporate contributions to more than 100 different organizations and more than half of our current employee base has volunteered their time at Company-sponsored initiatives supporting women, children and New York City’s homeless community.

 

Since 2019, we have initiated the following partnerships to support our philanthropic efforts:
