Culture
Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) enriches our workplace, bringing together unique perspectives and experiences that drive innovation and creativity.
We advocate for the principles of DEI as an integral part of our identity. We foster an inclusive environment where everyone’s unique backgrounds are celebrated, and their perspectives are heard. Our commitment to these principles is reflected in our diverse, purpose-driven team and continual efforts to ensure fair hiring practices. As a female- and minority-owned business, Verdani holds these values as intrinsic to our mission.
Internally, we provide training on social identity, unconscious bias, cultural awareness, and systemic inequity. We share educational resources on cultural observances and related events monthly. Verdani also surveys staff to assess perceptions and identify areas for improvement. For clients, we share best practices and train team members to engage clients on the importance of these values.
