Diversity and Inclusion Initiative for a Finance Company

Client: Global Finance Corp, a mid-sized financial services firm.

Challenge: Global Finance Corp had a homogeneous workforce, particularly at the leadership level, and was facing criticism for its lack of diversity. This was affecting the company’s reputation and limiting its ability to attract diverse talent.

Solution: The HR agency developed a tailored diversity and inclusion (D&I) strategy. This included unconscious bias training for all employees, the creation of employee resource groups (ERGs), and a review of the company’s recruitment processes to ensure diverse candidates were being considered. The agency also set up mentorship programs to support the growth of underrepresented groups within the company.

Outcome: Over a year, the company increased its diversity metrics by 20% and saw a corresponding improvement in employee engagement scores. The firm also attracted new clients who were specifically interested in partnering with socially responsible companies.
