Being an active member of Collaborative's Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) efforts has really challenged my mindset - my thinking has broadened and become more inclusive. Planning and executing events with a D&I focus has made me appreciate that there is rarely a one-size-fits-all approach, and this continues to help my creative side flourish. Being a part of D&I has also meant I have been able to grow the size of my network. All these factors have positively contributed to building my career here at Collaborative thus far, and as I look forward to the years ahead, I feel prepared for any new set of challenges.
Collaborative is special for many distinct reasons, but at the core of what makes us unique is our people. From the start, Collaborative has been mindful in growing the firm not only with the best talent, but also with the right people, who are just as excited to join our familial culture as they are to be a part of our talented workforce. When it comes to our employees, we respect and value individuals for their diverse backgrounds, experiences, styles, approaches, and ideas, and aim to support them through their professional development to share in our collective success. Because our people are of such a high calibre, trust is paramount here. Employees feel that Collaborative is a unique consulting firm in that work-life balance is not only possible, but highly encouraged throughout the organisation. It is because of this that Collaborative continues to be a top workplace across the board.
Collaborative doesn’t just offer competitive compensation and benefits, our culture is a supportive environment that promotes our core values and a strong work-life balance.

At Collaborative, we believe that our differences should be valued and embraced. Diversity – in background, experience, and perspectives – makes us stronger: not only as a company but also as a contributor to our community. Through diversity, we have the benefit of looking at our business through various lenses.
Inclusion is equally important. It means that we offer a sense of belonging to our employees. As an inclusive workplace, we are able to innovate and foster an even more engaging experience for our people. When our employees know they are all crucial to our mission, we thrive as an organisation. For that reason, we are committed to continuously improving diversity and inclusivity here at Collaborative.
The more we progress our diverse and inclusive culture, the more meaningful our work will be, the better we’ll meet our customers’ needs, and the stronger our organisation will be at its core.
