Creating and promoting a diverse and inclusive design team is crucial to the success of a global design practice. HOK’s Diversity Advisory Council was started in 2013 and is charged with enhancing the culture of inclusion and equity at the firm’s 23 offices. The DAC co-chairs and the regional representatives work with the regional leaders as well as the firm executive leadership to lead efforts in developing a diverse practice and equitable growth opportunity for all.
During this session, each of the co-chairs and the Canada DAC representative will briefly review the initiatives that have been put in place over the last 6 years including
- firmwide mentorship;
- recruitment and engagement with diverse universities and design community;
- internal challenge to increase diversity in leadership;
- tracking engagement and inclusion efforts through a biannual survey; and
- regional efforts toward intercultural competence.
They will review why these initiatives were chosen and how successful they have been in improving firmwide diversity and inclusion.
