Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

• Reviewing Existing & Designing New DEI Programs – We are often called upon by clients to critique exisiting DEI programs or assist in the development of new DEI initiatives. We provide creative and stategic advice based on a framework that includes legal requirements and practical effectiveness. 
• Creative DEI Analyses, Benchmarking & Goal-Setting – Our in-house statisticians and data analysts work closely with our attorneys to analyze recruitment, advancement and retention trends to uncover the barriers to DEI success. We develop creative and meaningful DEI benchmarking and goal-setting based on our analysis of various sources of DEI availability.
• Crafting Effective DEI Programs & Initiatives that “Move the Needle” – Too often, DEI efforts do not produce an increase in workplace diversity or can lead to a DEI “revolving door.” We work with clients to develop effective programs that improve workplace diversity and, importantly, lead to greater retention of your diverse talent. 
• Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) Advice & Strategy – Employers face quickly emerging ESG expectations from shareholders, employees and other stakeholders. We provide to our clients strategic DEI advice and practical guidance to address and satisfy these growing ESG demands. 
• Conducting Racial Equity & Civil Rights Audits – As an outcome of emerging ESG expectations, employers increasingly are committing to conduct racial equity or civil rights audits. We work closely with our clients to design and conduct effective self-audits to identify and overcome barriers to achieving workplace equity.

Our firm has deep experience developing effective DEI programs. We design creative diversity trend analyses, benchmarking and goal-setting that uncover the hidden barriers to achieving workplace DEI. We work closely with clients to address emerging ESG expectations and conduct effective workplace equity audits.
