As of August 2024

Here are just some of the actions we’ve taken to Make MomentumTM:

Establishing the Human Equity Advisory Council.

Established to ensure H/Lers of all backgrounds are respected, recognized, included, and engaged throughout the organization.

Organizational training from The Learner’s Group

H/L tapped industry leader The Learner’s Group to help us explore what DEI means for our agency. Together, we identified impactful ways to enrich our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion efforts with a focus on belonging.

Affinity groups.

Affinity groups are built around both professional and personal connections among diverse peer groups at H/L. They’re open to all and offer support for learning the ins-and-outs of H/L culture, broad career perspectives, discussions on balancing life and work, and sometimes, just an excuse to get together, have fun, and socialize.

There’s still lots of work to do, but ensuring we’re maintaining environments in which everyone belongs will be our proving ground.
