Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
RS&H is committed to creating a connected future where everyone can thrive. Our core values drive our efforts to cultivate an equitable environment focused on ensuring a culture of belonging. With diverse voices, RS&H can continue to develop the creative and forward-thinking solutions necessary to solve some of the biggest challenges for communities throughout the world. We welcome people to come as they are and uplift each other to succeed today, tomorrow, and every day into the future.
Employee Resource Groups
Our ERGs are forums for associates to contribute to RS&H’s goal of creating a more inclusive workplace. These voluntary, associate-led groups create integrated approaches for supporting education, awareness, professional development, networking, industry advancement and community involvement.
Currently, we have three active ERGs with more in development.
BUILT strives to increase the visibility of the Black community at all levels across RS&H. BUILT supports recruiting and retention while cultivating and promoting advancement opportunities for Black associates.
Ignite advocates for the advancement of women while fostering an environment that allows women to connect and create developmental opportunities.
PRISM aims to create an open and safe space for LGBTQ+ associates and allies to meet, share, educate and support RS&H initiatives.
Recruiting & Retention
We’ve taken intentional strides to create more diverse candidate pools for our hiring managers by shifting our recruiting strategy. We’ve started with:
- Attending more diverse recruiting fairs
- Partnering with Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs)
- Engagement programming with professional organizations with veterans and diverse membership/affiliates
