Talent Equity Consultant, Edgility Consulting

ORGANIZATION 

Edgility exists to empower social impact organizations to recognize and overcome unconscious bias, racism, and sexism so they can build a workforce that reflects and strengthens the communities they serve. Our clients want to live up to their values, but it’s not always easy to know where to start. We look at the data, ask the tough questions and, when we need to, disrupt the status quo. We know that real change can’t come from relying on the same systems and “best practices” that got us here in the first place. We serve as a trusted, compassionate, tough-love partner that helps our client organizations:

• Find, hire and retain exceptional leaders and build a workforce that is reflective of the communities they serve
• Develop transparent compensation programs that close wage gaps
• Build equitable talent systems and practices that close opportunity gaps

This is the new standard. And we challenge everyone to meet us here.
