Five metro Detroit companies are making strides in their ongoing journeys toward equality, diversity, and inclusion in their workplaces, communities, and the world. The enterprises say their efforts improve recruitment and retention, keep clients and partners engaged, bolster their reputations, support the regions they serve and, ultimately, boost their bottom lines.
One Detroit-based law firm has revamped its diversity efforts twice in less than 10 years.
While Butzel Long had a committee dedicated to diversity and retention for many years, it wasn’t until 2014 that the group began to focus on recruiting diverse law students, many of whom are later hired to fill full-time positions.
