So you think your firm actually does a good job of fostering Diversity & Inclusivity or are we all just playing ourselves ?

Great job at talking about it, like most other companies these days - not so great on the execution side. I’m very vocal about why that is and how it needs to be improved.

SC1. I’ve had the same experience here too. Came from industry and was promoted almost 2 years later. But it’s not in all practices. But generally Slalom does a great job.

Depends on how you’re defining D&I. If it’s women, we talk about it a lot! And have programming and recruiting events for it. We don’t actually care about employees, so once you’re in, you’re left to the wolves. If it’s “underrepresented communities,” we don’t even talk about it. In almost five years, I can count 12 people I’ve met or worked with who are black, Latinxs, or Asian.

My firm has a looong way to go. I am often the only black woman in the room, even at larger meetings (office meetings, practice meetings, client kickoffs). The clients I've been on do a better job at diversity across the board.

As much as my firm preaches diversity and inclusion, the execution is lacking. Those that try are often outnumbered by ones who don’t care to change biases.

They use it as a catch phrase, to seem more modern rather than old school and to create more jobs. If the younger workfoce didn't appreciate diversity, it would look the same as it did in the 70's.
Just barely enough of us to say minorites work here.

Hi, I am a single-parent with a 9 year old daughter. Is anyone else dealing with same gender sleepovers with sexual exploration occurring? Exploring as in my daughter says outright “I am going to kiss you,” to her bestie before bed. Then after 15 minutes of giggling in bed I go to tell them to be quiet and see my daughter’s bestie is showing her buttcheeks to my daughter. To top it off they start trying to tell me they are laughing because they are reading “belly laugh books for kids”. Help.
