HSE’s Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Council seeks to provide educational opportunities and training for all team members and oversees the organization’s Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), employee-led groups whose members share common interests, experiences or backgrounds. Our six ERGs - Black Flight, H.A.P.P.I. (Hornets Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders), H.Y.P.E. (Hornets Young Professionals Entourage), Los Hornets, Pride Hive and She Fly - host events throughout the year for their members as well as educational activities for all HSE staff.

Through the Swarm to Serve initiative – which encompasses the important work done by HSE’s Corporate Social Responsibility department and the Charlotte Hornets Foundation – we are committed to inspiring a philanthropic culture and strengthening the Charlotte region through intentional partnerships, charitable giving, and social projects in the areas of Education, Hunger, Military and Wellness. Staff are highly encouraged to participate in various Swarm to Serve programs throughout the year. View our latest impact report here.

One of HSE’s main organizational goals is to Build Winning Teams – both on and off the court. To accomplish this, we are committed to recruiting, coaching and retaining talent. We offer best-in-class internships, training, leadership development and benefits, ranging from tuition reimbursement to summer hours. We strive to set an example for others by being a diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace, and we aim to build trust with our employees – and the community – through frequent, open communication. Our employees are critical to our success, and we do everything we can to help ensure they can focus on our mission and key fundamentals.
