Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging (DEI&B) Policy

Introduction

At Third Rock Consulting, we are committed to fostering a diverse, equitable, inclusive, and belonging (DEI&B) workplace that reflects the diverse communities we serve. We believe that our success is built on the foundation of varied perspectives and experiences. This policy outlines our commitment to DEI&B and the actions we will take to ensure an inclusive environment for all employees, clients, and partners. 

Our Commitment

Living Our DEI&B Values

We believe all organizations have a responsibility to address the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion through policy. At Third Rock Consulting, DEI&B will be lived when we:

  • Engage openly in conversations about discrimination, diversity, equity, and inclusion, even when they make us feel uncomfortable.
  • Treat each other with respect and care about the outcomes of others on our team.
  • Foster equal opportunity for ourselves, our consultants, and customers.
  • Believe inclusion and diversity strengthens our business, enriches our culture, and enables us to deepen our relationships with our communities.
  • Seek to achieve a workforce that is representative of the communities in which we work.


DEI&B will not be lived when we:

  • Tolerate discrimination based on race, religion, age, gender, sexual or social identity of any kind when it occurs.
  • Base hiring decisions on factors other than potential, experience, and alignment with our values.
  • Compensate individuals differently for the same or similar work.

Additional Elements We Are Working to Implement

Leadership Accountability

  • Senior leadership is responsible for implementing and progressing DEI&B initiatives.
  • Annual performance reviews for leaders include DEI&B goals.
  • Regularly assess progress and adjust as needed for continuous improvement.


Data-Driven Approach

  • Regularly collect and analyze diversity metrics to inform DEI&B strategies.
  • Welcome feedback from employees, clients, and partners to enhance DEI&B efforts.
  • Use data to identify gaps, set targets, and measure progress.


Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)

  • Support the formation and operation of ERGs for underrepresented groups.
  • Encourage ERGs to participate in decision-making and contribute to DEI&B strategy.


Supplier Diversity

  • Increase the diversity of our suppliers by engaging with minority-owned, women-owned, and other underrepresented businesses.
  • Track and report on supplier diversity efforts.

Conclusion

At Third Rock Consulting, we believe a commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging is essential to our mission and values. We are dedicated to creating an environment where everyone feels valued and empowered to contribute to our collective success. Through our DEI&B initiatives, we aim to build a stronger, more innovative, and inclusive organization.
