Diversity & Inclusion
Navigant Consulting has a long-standing commitment of embracing and celebrating diversity – diversity of thought, solutions and services, experiences and backgrounds. Diversity and inclusion enhances the innovation and creativity of the services Navigant Consulting provides to its clients. Diverse teams provide innovative thinking and problem solving to meet our clients’ business challenges. Navigant seeks employees who thrive in an inclusive team environment and bring multiple perspectives to client engagements.
The Navigant Diversity & Inclusion Program
The mission and vision of Navigant’s Diversity and Inclusion Program is to create a rewarding and challenging environment, and a collaborative culture that provides continuing support to all Navigant professionals and enables individual and collective development and success. Underpinning the program is a commitment to attracting, developing, and embracing the unique talents of top performing individuals to serve our clients’ most critical business needs.
The program leadership is provided by an executive Diversity Council and includes several Employee Resource Groups, which offer channels for employees across the organization to contribute and foster community. These groups help all of our employees:
- Leverage social networking resources to forge new relationships among members, share expertise and advice, and receive valuable feedback and insights
- Grow their internal and external networks
- Develop a greater affinity for different experiences, backgrounds and perspectives
- Take advantage of the unique opportunities to enhance leadership skills and abilities needed to thrive in a complex and global environment
Perspectives from our Diversity & Inclusion Program Leaders

Additionally, I am proud that NCI wants to enhance our culture of tolerance, acceptance and mutual support and respect regardless of our individual differences.”
