Chris Agrawal

• Adopt a mindset that there is always room for personal growth in being more understanding and inclusive of diverse viewpoints.
• Regularly solicit input from voices throughout our organization that are diverse in terms of background, role, and location. And, listen to that input to learn, not just to respond.
• Instill the value and importance of DEI in our leadership as key to our identity, culture, and brand.
• Lead by example. Not just supporting DEI initiatives, but championing and participating in them myself.
• Ensure that diversity and inclusion are considered in every major decision of the firm.

• Empower our firm’s DEI committee to implement the organizational changes they believe would make our workplace more diverse, inclusive, and equitable.
• Ensure that our entire firm supports and engages with our DEI committee by regularly convening our entire team to learn about and discuss DEI issues.
• Strive to level the playing field on various fronts to deliver a more rewarding and inclusive work experience for all of our team members.
• Elevate the voices of team members from underrepresented groups in hiring, promotion, review, and work-related decisions.
• Periodically solicit anonymous feedback from our team. Meet with the rest of our firm’s leadership to consider policy changes.
