“We brought Rob in to help us craft our first ever inclusive language policy. He was incredibly patient and thorough in helping us understand the things we weren't seeing and how we could make strides to be more inclusive and thoughtful about how we use language at work." -Arturo B.“We are a small organization with no formal DEI team and we hired Rob to help us create a framework for establishing measurable DEI goals that we could maintain without a dedicated people analytics partner. He helped us find ways to move beyond hiring data and surface level diversity metrics to a means of measuring our progress that our team can manage sustainably.” -Sarah O.
