Our Mission
The mission of the Diversity and inclusion council is to support DMi Partners in meeting its DEI goals. The D&I council is dedicated to internal awareness and allyship-building programming, as well as expanding and diversifying the company’s collective network.
Our Training
Because every member of the company contributes to building an inclusive culture at DMi, everyone is given an opportunity to grow in their understanding. Every quarter DMi Partners hosts company-wide training on DEI topics including how to be an active ally in an inclusive workplace.
Our Communication
Every month through our internal newsletter, employees are made aware of DMi’s social foci: simple charges each month to expand one’s awareness of different communities, abilities or cultures.
Our Hiring
We have taken extensive measures to ensure our hiring practices are inclusionary and equitable. We take steps to decrease gendered language in job descriptions. We use standardized interview process and assessment metrics to avoid gut and cultural fit decisions. We are looking for candidates who meet or exceed expectations and ones we believe will add value to our culture.
Our Progress
Since the D&I Council began its work, DMi has increased the number of employees that self reportedly identify with an underrepresented identity to over 30% of the company.
Our D&I Journey
Diversity Equity and Inclusion has always been a focus at DMi Partners. DMi Partners started as a small business and has grown to a strong, sustainable company with inclusive culture at its core. DMi Partners’ leadership was accustomed to making changes internally, working from the inside out and empowering employees to take on new challenges professionally. However, with DEI, external help was needed. To understand where we are today, take a look at the history of gaining that assistance in building a DEI foundation within the culture of DMi Partners.”
2019
During 2019 the leadership team determined that internal efforts made in the name of DEI were not enough and wanted to do more.
2020
The leadership team knew this would require external assistance. So, leadership contracted consulting agency that. helped DMi to assess, train and build a more inclusive and equitable foundation.
2021
In efforts to continue to move the needle, DMi hired its first Talent Acquisition and Diversity and Inclusion Manager. Through their leadership, equitable hiring practices and tools were implemented. This allowed the organization to grow in size and diversity and enhance the already inclusive community.
2022
We continue to build from our foundation. Our company has doubled in size, and the diversity of our company has tripled. We have an employee-led D&I council that plans and executes programming to build awareness. And DEI is woven into the fabric of our workplace culture.
