Appreciation of diversity gives shape to each aspect of the work done by the MacArthur Foundation. The assistance provided by Executive Diversity Services has been important in ensuring that perspectives held by people from different backgrounds and cultures are brought to bear in the decisions we make, from choices about day-to-day business relationships to major grantmaking initiatives.

Executive Diversity Services’ training is both practical and effective. They have helped us develop curriculum that is relevant internationally and revised it as necessary to be effective in different regions. They have also helped us train internal facilitators so that resources are available throughout our seven global regions. Our organization, our managers, and our employees have all benefited from the partnership with EDS. Employees indicate that they have been able to apply information and tools immediately in their work as well as in other parts of their lives.
