Ingrid : It ’ s great to be with a partner that is not trying to erase every reference to DEI . We don ’ t need fair-weather friends that drop DEI when it becomes uncomfortable . HUB has clearly already recognized that diversity , equity and inclusion is just smart and good business practice , and they are able to communicate this in a way that is not off-putting . Having a large company like HUB bring greater visibility to how implementing DEI opens up new market opportunities can really help industries understand that , whether or not you like the terminology , it is a practical , productive , business-driven decision . Why would you want to shut out and ignore a huge share of your potential market ?
Darren : Our CEO Marc Cohen talks a lot about incremental improvement , week after week , month after month , year after year . What we ’ re trying to do as a company is to get better every day , and in order for us to remain a viable and relevant business , we have to run our business in a respectful and responsible way to make sure that we can continue our work for generations .
Ingrid : As we continue our work together , there are many great offerings on the horizon for our existing and new clients , as well as the ability that HUB has to bring to a much broader platform our mutual principles of reducing barriers to participation while embracing and tapping into the many benefits of diversity , equity and inclusion . Stay tuned !
