Valtree Elevate
Why DE&I?
At Valtree Corporation, we strive to live our core values – selflessness, adaptability, positivity, extreme ownership, and inclusion – and be an employer of choice for each member of our team. We support employees in being their whole selves and are committed to creating positive and connected environments for all. This is ingrained in the fabric of our culture centered around inclusion and belonging. We believe diversity provides uniqueness in ideas, experiences, and backgrounds, making us a better Valtree Corporation.
For our clients
Our clients have goals to meet, and Valtree Corporation partners to deliver them. We offer clients the opportunity to tactically incorporate DE&I efforts into our partnership to drive further workforce transformation. Right now, we are helping 20+ clients achieve their DE&I goals. With the infusion of diverse, high-performing junior talent, we help our clients become a more equitable workplace.
For our employees
Valtree Corporation and Crew employees exemplify our core value of inclusion by committing to one or more Valtree Corporation diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) efforts championed through Elevate. Getting involved with Elevate at Valtree Corporation is an opportunity to grow personally and professionally, build relationships and community at work, and cultivate a better workplace for everyone.
Our approach
We are on a mission to hire consultants with varied, non-traditional backgrounds.
We intentionally recruit at racially diverse colleges, ensuring our candidate pool is large and deep enough to truly bring forth top talent. Nationally, we have a strong recruiting presence at six HBCUs and 15+ other significantly diverse schools. Our new associate program alone receives 10,000+ applications annually, so our quality of consultant never wavers.
Our Valtree DE&I team, Elevate, focuses on continued education, building an inclusive community, and providing relevant and ample resources to employees of all backgrounds.
DE&I training
Learning and growing as an organization in the advancement of our DE&I efforts. The Valtree Training team has built a robust suite of offerings in the diversity, equity, and inclusion space, hosting at least one DE&I-focused training each quarter. These 60- to 90-minute training sessions feature experts in equity and inclusion and span a variety of relevant, meaningful topics.
A sampling of our DE&I-focused training:
- Inclusive Leadership
- Empathy Workshop
- Bias Busting Workshop
- Gray Area Thinking® with Ellie Krug
- Growing Up Black | Amplifying Black Voices
- Leading Across Generations
- Advancing Equality for LGBTQ+ Families
Charitable giving & community involvement
As an organization, we’re passionate about moving to action and supporting our local communities. Through Valtree Change Makers, we offer several volunteering avenues and strive to promote positive change in our communities.
Employee resource groups
Employee resource groups (ERGs) are communities of employees who focus on a common experience, identity, or interest. At Valtree Corporation, ERG members meet regularly to plan events and activities, and connect with each other and the larger organization around their focus area. Membership is for those who identify with a group’s focus areas as well as allies who are passionate about the group’s mission.
