WHAT COMES TO MIND WHEN YOU THINK OF THE WORDS “DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION?”
At Unfinished Business, our DE&I work considers multiple aspects of diversity, including: Gender, Race, Ethnicity, Age; Diversity of Thought; Cultural, Religious, Socio-Economic & Educational Backgrounds; Abilities/Disabilities, Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity … and more.
Why is DE&I so important for today’s organizations?
Because becoming better in the space is critical to success. Focusing on growth in this area is both the right thing AND the smart thing for organizations. It will help attract and retain top talent, improve the bottom line, and positively impact communities that we call home.
Unfinished Business helps its clients create a trusting atmosphere to engage all levels of the organization along the DE&I journey. We provide best practice strategies around matters of Race, Ethnicity, Gender, Sexual Orientation etc.
We connect our clients to experts, content, and best practices for professional development. And – perhaps most importantly – we help our clients set expectations and manage the change that comes with this journey.
DE&I work is truly a culture-changing journey, not a destination. You don’t get there … you just get better.
“ Mark Richardson is a uniquely gifted communicator and facilitator. Our firm engaged Mark pre-pandemic to help us attract and retain diverse talent. Through a time of unprecedented change and disruption, Mark won the confidence of our staff and attorneys at every level of the organization and helped us build a more equitable workplace culture. With his guidance, we changed our approach to recruiting, revised our outward communication strategy, and created a durable organizational infrastructure that has paid immediate dividends in terms of the quality of candidates we are seeing for staff and attorney positions. I would not hesitate to recommend Mark for organizations looking to jumpstart their recruitment efforts.
