I’m very proud of Clarkston’s commitment to diversity and inclusion. Diversity has been one of our core values since the inception of our company and we recognize the impact this commitment has had on our firm’s success. Our diversity initiatives are designed to embrace people from all backgrounds to help them grow their careers at Clarkston, to build a sustainable firm, and bring those perspectives to provide brilliant service to our clients.

The ‘Clarkston Culture’ promotes an inclusive work environment where everyone naturally brings their true and best self to work every day. Research shows that we are genetically motivated towards connection and belonging. As stewards, we pride ourselves on fostering strong relationships with one another and our clients. It is because of this culture that we can thrive as an organization. In addition to building a strong and inclusive company culture, we equip our stewards with fundamental knowledge and training on diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging from the beginning of their tenure with us.

I joined Clarkston very soon after I moved from India. The fact I have been here for a good part of two decades is an absolute testament to the emphasis that the firm places on the values around diversity and inclusion. The beauty is that it is just so natural and seamless without being forced. THAT is what I think is the secret sauce to the firm!
KATELYN T.
Clarkston’s commitment to fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion is a big part of what led me to join the firm. As a new consultant, I’ve been quickly welcomed into advocacy groups like the Pride Network, where my ideas for promoting fellowship and amplifying diverse experiences have always been encouraged. Being part of a workplace community that supports the input and perspectives of all its members makes me proud to be a Clarkston steward.
AMETHYST E.
Diversity and Inclusion at Clarkston is a dynamic process that focuses on establishing new metrics and utilizes a group of people who actively work towards achieving these goals. As a steward with Clarkston Technology Solutions, a member of the Black Steward Network, and an ally to both our Pride and Women Empowerment Networks, I have been able to provide input, spark conversation and bring in fresh ideas to help Clarkston toward their goals. I am thankful for the effort the company puts into making our community inclusive and am proud to be a part of the solution.
