Diversity is a core value at Manatt Jones Global Strategies, LLC. It is inseparable from our commitment to meritocracy, because the best people reflect the widest possible perspectives, experiences and backgrounds. The basic qualities that we seek in our professionals and in our strategic partners – commitment, judgment, creativity, entrepreneurial drive, business skill, civic responsibility and a desire to be the best – are deeply enriched by diverse cultural experiences. These qualities define the way we conduct business and offer services to clients, and they are greatly strengthened by our active and effective efforts to recruit and retain minority professionals.
Diversity as a Priority
We understand the practical importance of diversity to our clients and to the communities where we do business. We consider it an imperative business priority to ensure that our company, from the top down, reflects the diverse communities that we serve. In our major office locations, from Washington, D.C. to New York to California to Mexico, the multiple strengths of many cultures are inseparable from the rapid development of the global economy. The directors of the largest corporations, like the owners of the newest entrepreneurial businesses, increasingly reflect this kind of multicultural perspective and increasingly require it of the consultants they use. ManattJones embraces the challenge as a mission of the company.
Our efforts are founded on our understanding that the key to retaining talented minority professionals – and therefore the key to nurturing a commitment to diversity – is creating a distinctive environment that supports the needs of minority professionals. We focus on the following key areas to accomplish our mission.
Clear Diversity Statement
ManattJones' commitment to diversity begins with and is summarized in a living document – a plan – that is concrete, easy to understand and public. It demonstrates in writing that we are serious about creating a workplace that mirrors the breadth of the communities where we and our clients live and work.
Targeted Recruitment Effort
We have a targeted recruitment outreach campaign that calls on the members of the company and our most trusted outside colleagues to locate talented minority professionals. Our professionals are provided with specific information about our diversity commitment, philosophy and recruiting initiatives. We urge our friends, colleagues and clients to rely on their invaluable experiences to identify the kind of qualified candidates we want, and spread our message that we want to talk to minority professionals with drive, energy, intelligence and a history of excellence.
First-Hand Experience
Because diversity is a priority and business objective, we make a point of demonstrating that first-hand. Our most senior and high-profile professionals meet with candidates to share ManattJones' culture and diversity philosophy and goals as well as the many opportunities that are available to minority professionals in our company.
Access to Opportunity
Success for any professional often is a matter of opportunity. At ManattJones we believe that the key to retaining talented minority professionals – and therefore the key to the success of our diversity efforts – is providing a distinctive experience that offers clear and open access to professional accomplishment. We make a concerted effort to ensure minority professionals are provided with important responsibilities and leadership opportunities in client development activities, major projects, and high-profile community and civic organizations. We also encourage and support minority members who take leadership positions within the company and outside in the community at large, and help to facilitate the development of their profile.
Long-Term Commitment
ManattJones strives to be the best kind of meritocracy. Our professionals thrive in an atmosphere that encourages and supports responsibility and aspirations. We believe minority candidates will choose to develop their careers at a companies that offer true opportunity equal to their commitments to success and advancement. That is the opportunity we have at ManattJones, where all professionals with talent and drive are rewarded with a nurturing, dynamic and energizing climate for long-term diversity and commitment.
Diversity at ManattJones is more than just a goal. It is who we are and what we demand of ourselves. |
