Improving DEI outcomes takes a sustained commitment and rigorous approach over a multiyear time horizon (Bain & Company).
From Gaia Human Capital’s inception in 2007, the practice has prioritized Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging both internally and with clients.
While there is no one-size-fits-all solution, one approach can utilize executives’ natural talents - treating your DEI&B strategy like any other core business strategy (University of Massachusetts).
A diverse leadership team with a common mission will . . .
Bring about greater productivity, profitability, morale and employee retention;
Attract more business;
Attract more employees with a wider range of experiences who are able to achieve their full potential.
Catalyze the innovation needed to stay ahead.
Driven significantly by increased social equity justice, inspired investors, boards, media and society, adding diversity to your leadership team and entire workforce is not a fad - it’s the only right thing to do!
Gaia’s clients are well-informed and have adapted tremendous strides in DEI&B. We join our clients and are equally committed to recruiting a slate of top diverse and inclusive talent on every executive search assignment.
Gaia is extremely committed to building diverse leadership teams and workforces that reflect our society.
Gaia does not tolerate any discrimination on the basis of age, ethnicity, sexual identity and/or orientation, physical ability, gender, military status or any other part of an individual’s identity.
“To me, diversity is about different perspectives and ideas, equity is about creating a fair playing field for all, and inclusion is about empowering people to be their authentic selves so they can play to their strengths.”
- Jane Fraser, CEO Citicorp
At FrameworkESG, we have built a curious, collaborative, and diverse culture that enables our people to bring their whole selves and their best thinking to helping clients meet their business objectives.

Leadership diversity in the workplace must increase! Diversity is not only necessary for societal progress, but necessary for survival in all business. Diversity is our strength as people and as an executive search practice.
