2010 Diversity Initiative

TRG has a long-standing commitment to diversity, evidenced by the variety of backgrounds, ethnicities, cultures, and perspectives among our current staff.   We are convinced that the quality of our services is improved when it results from the collaborative efforts of a group of people with a wide variety of perspectives and experiences.  This includes work that we do inside our own organization, and in helping our clients to work successfully with their own diversity.  This year we are launching an initiative to further increase the diversity among our full time consulting staff.  Specifically, we are taking steps to generate a potential candidate pool that is diverse as possible for a hiring process that may be initiated later this year. Our goal is to have a consulting workforce that reflects the broad elements of diversity that make up our country and the varied environments in which we work throughout the world.
