Inclusion & Diversity
Bringing Our Best to Work
West Monroe deeply values inclusion and diversity as an organization. We are committed to fostering and promoting inclusion and belonging, and to building an environment that allows everyone to contribute at their full potential. This means including perspectives from backgrounds that vary by race, ethnicity, social background, religion, gender, gender identity, age, disability, sexual orientation, veteran status, and national origin as well as diversity in skills, experiences, and journeys.
We know that the best outcomes for our employees and our clients result from bringing diverse perspectives to the table and strive to create a workplace that celebrates the diversity of our employees, clients, and communities. Together, we can make an impact—that’s why we asked some of our leaders and employee resource group sponsors what impact they believe inclusion and diversity has on our business, our clients, and our people.

It’s not enough to say we want to be more inclusive—we must be accountable. We set specific goals to ensure representation at every level, including leadership. We also measure fulfillment to ensure our people feel they can build an impactful career. That’s good for our people and our firm.
