Seek activities that educate and make us more aware of the diversity of our staff. Support employee resource groups. Maintain an environment that is free from employees imposing their personal beliefs on others. Offer training that seeks to enhance a more inclusive workplace. Kimley-Horn's Diversity & Inclusion Committee Kimley-Horn’s D&I Committee serves as a resource for employees who’d like to join the D&I conversation. There are four standing members—director of HR, recruiting lead, a Board of Directors representative, and an “at large” member—and seven regional representatives. The current committee represents four minority groups (Black, Latino, American Indian, and Asian), the LGBTQ+ community, and a person with a disability. They also represent different religious backgrounds, beliefs, and generations.
