Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
We’ve made a commitment to our employees, clients and peers to take action when it comes to diversity. To do more than just talk about it.
Our Actions:
We’re educating internally
We’ve held workshops and diversity training for our team, provided workshops for our clients, and brought in consultants to help us start our journey.
We’re working with our clients to create diverse processes and inclusive cultures
We want our journey to benefit our clients and partners as well as our team. So we’re working closely with them to help them own their own diversity and inclusion initiatives.
We’ve hired a Chief Diversity Officer
This role has been brought onboard the team to embed diversity in our process and lead our inclusion initiatives.
We’re partnering with the experts and providing free resources
Diversity needs all of us, so we’re creating free content, including ebooks, podcasts, and videos, and offering diversity and inclusion training to our clients.
