DIVERSITY + INCLUSION

Our Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion

Diversity is a central part of our culture and how we work at Proactive Talent. It’s a key to our mission to help companies power their recruiting engine to attract, hire, and retain talent—as well as for our own collective 'tribe' here at Proactive Talent. Furthermore, our commitment to diversity and inclusion is deeply rooted in our collective values as a company and a community of freelance Talent Acquisition professionals.

We recognize that differences in age, race, gender, nationality, sexual orientation, physical ability, thinking style, and background bring richness to our work environments and the results we show for our clients. Such differences help us better connect with the health needs of people in communities worldwide. We believe that attracting, developing and retaining a base of employees and contractors that reflects the diversity of our customers is essential to our success. We also believe success hinges on relationships with diverse partners, professional organizations, and suppliers.”

As an organization, we are genuinely committed to diversity and inclusion (or ‘D&I’) and understand that the presence of visible diversity does not equate to being diverse and inclusive alone.  We believe a meaningful commitment to D&I requires a dual and concurrent focus on individual behaviors and organizational systems.

Openness to alternative ways of approaching a task or an issue, revisions to work processes, and flexibility in scheduling are all hallmarks of a diverse and inclusive organization, and our workplace diversity statement embodies these.

Vision
