Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

BRG strives to build and nurture a culture where inclusiveness is instinctive, not an initiative. As part of our commitment to drive change with action, we are focused on developing and retaining a workforce and leadership team that is more representative of minority and diverse backgrounds; fostering a stronger organizational culture that promotes inclusivity; identifying, understanding, and reverting away from unconscious bias; and developing outreach programs that focus on helping and doing business with diverse communities.

One way we do this is through our employee resource groups (ERGs), which provide open forums for employees who share a common identity, background, or interest to meet and support each other by building a community and a sense of belonging. ERGs provide an environment and platform in which to collaborate and share ideas, as well as educate the broader company on cultural issues.

We also provide continuous training and resources to our people around the world.

BRG’s commitment to corporate social responsibility means continuously looking for opportunities to make a positive contribution in our local and global communities. It also means ensuring that our policies and procedures for conducting business reflect our values as a high-integrity business organization.

BRG is committed to developing outreach programs that focus on helping and doing business with diverse communities. The firm has an active program of initiatives in its key locations around the world.

For example, BRG’s Leg Up Program is an accessible educational and mentorship program intended to inspire lifelong learners and enhance participants’ opportunities for advanced degree programs.

Our commitment to racial, ethnic, and gender equality extends the idea of Intelligence That Works to the underserved youth in our communities.

Each year, BRG partners with local high schools and organizations to identify high-potential students in ninth through twelfth grades to participate in a weeklong summer session. The program consists of a welcome event, five consecutive days on site, and various sessions including education, skill-building, networking opportunities, and electives. Students also participate in various events including college admission panels, local day trips, and information sessions with our experts.

BRG professionals mentor students through the college application process by matching students to a mentor on a person-by-person basis with hopes that the relationship extends beyond the program.

Participating BRG office locations have included Boston, Los Angeles, New York, and Washington, DC.
