Learn More Building a more diverse, equitable, inclusive and accessible federal workforce Federal agencies need to build diverse, equitable, inclusive and accessible workplaces and provide more opportunities to underrepresented communities to ensure our government mirrors the communities it serves. Our custom offerings help agencies embed DEIA principles into talent management practices, create more inclusive organizational cultures, strengthen leadership capability on DEIA issues and develop more inclusive recruiting and hiring practices. We also foster collaboration among HR professionals, Equal Employment Opportunity specialists, hiring managers and other DEIA stakeholders, and bring together senior federal diversity officers to discuss DEIA issues and best practices. Our offerings are tailored for individual contributors, supervisors and team leads, affinity group members, senior executive and other teams.
