We live and work in an increasingly diverse, interconnected, and complex world with ever-more challenging problems and questions. Only organizations and teams designed with this reality in mind will be ready for the important moments ahead—whether charting a path to growth, developing a new strategy, facing unexpected competition, or managing other significant changes. Diversity can and does drive performance. Unlocking that fully requires future-ready, head-and-heart-driven leaders who recognize that diversity, in its many forms, already exists on their teams and work proactively to develop inclusive practices and cultures to get the best work out of everyone.
At Heidrick & Struggles, we hire and optimize our own global team with these beliefs top of mind and can help you do the same. We meet our clients wherever they are on their diversity journey and work closely with them to measure, envision, articulate, and embed an authentic version of themselves as an organization and, over time, evolve toward an even better version of themselves—whatever that may be. To do that, we harness 70+ years of insights into what makes great leaders and organizations, along with the growing body of research on the value AND dynamics of diversity. Ultimately, we are in the “who and how” business, providing assessment, placement, consulting, and other services to ensure you attract and accelerate the right leaders and build a culture around them in service of your ambitions for today and tomorrow.
