Diversity and Inclusion

We are committed to ensuring that every individual in our firm has a place at the table.

We integrate these six pillars when supporting the perspectives, stories and voices of employees and individuals within the communities that we serve:

• Learning and Development
• Recruitment
• Culture
• Community
• Client Collaborations
• International/Domestic Alliances

How We’re Taking Action.

We align our actions with our beliefs by issuing mandatory firm-wide trainings, including unconscious bias and sexual harassment, and supporting community organizations with missions that foster diversity and inclusion.

Below reflects our continued commitment to supporting our people. 

• Gender Equality. Friedman’s Women’s Development Network (WDN) provides powerful resources to help all of our women professionals develop critical skills, achieve work/life balance and advance their careers.

• Mental Wellness. We’ve expanded our benefits offerings to include increased mental health resources to support our employees during these unparalleled times. 

• Ethnic/Racial Diversity. Promoting an inclusive recruiting and interview process, providing mentoring opportunities and partnering with on-campus affinity groups support our commitment to inclusive environments in our firm and in our community.
