Monitor is committed to promoting diversity and building a culture which enables all of our employees and partners to achieve their full potential regardless of age, gender, gender identity, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation or physical capabilities. 

We believe diversity is important because it makes our organization stronger, our culture more robust and allows us to serve our clients more effectively. We also believe firmly in contributing to a just world by running a firm that promotes equality of opportunity. The primary factors we consider in hiring and promotion are people's capabilities, ability to learn and their embodiment of the characteristics we seek to represent as a firm. These characteristics include passion, responsibility, openness, empathy, generosity, creativity, courage and integrity. These are the things that unify our community and they create a platform upon which diversity of background, diversity of interests, diversity of perspectives, and diversity of thinking and acting can flourish.

Monitor promotes diversity through a variety of means. Our approach to people and career management has always been designed with individualized development in mind rather than expecting cohorts of people to develop at the same pace. We recognize that people will make different choices about careers (e.g., breadth vs. depth) and advance at different rates through different career phases. This approach embraces the diversity of individuals and is designed to build a firm which is diverse across many dimensions.

We also promote diversity through networks of people inside the firm who work to build communities within the larger community to ensure that people of different backgrounds or orientations have places to go for support when needed and to share experiences and learning. There are three such networks currently active within Monitor: Women's Leadership Initiative (WLI), Gay Lesbian Bisexual and Transgender Network (GLBTN) and the Racial Diversity Network (RDN) .
