Since Gaia Human Capital’s inception in 2007, we prioritize Diverse Communities both internally and with all our clients.
While there is no one-size-fits-all solution, one approach can utilize executives’ natural talents - treating your talent strategy like any other core business strategy (University of Massachusetts).
Improving talent outcomes takes a sustained commitment and rigorous approach over a multiyear time horizon (Bain & Company).
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.
Gaia’s Commitment to Equity and Representation
Organizational Success Through Inclusion:
Building diverse leadership teams is no longer a trend; it is a necessity for superior organizational success and effective risk mitigation.
Our clients are well-informed leaders who recognize that social equity and true representation are the driving forces behind enduring business value.
Unwavering Recruitment Standards:
We join our clients in this commitment. Gaia Human Capital is dedicated to ensuring a slate of top talent that reflects the full spectrum of society on every executive search assignment. We actively expand the talent pool to secure professionals from all backgrounds, ages, genders, and sexual orientations.
Our Foundational Principle:
Gaia Human Capital is unyielding in its belief that every individual deserves respect and opportunity. We do not tolerate any discrimination on the basis of ethnicity, sexual orientation, physical ability, gender, military status, or any other aspect 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.
— Kate Rebernak, Founder & CEO FrameworkESG
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.
