With our 67-year history of advocating for civil rights and freedom of expression, and our commitment to creating a culture in which all people can pursue pleasure – auditing our DEI practices, ensuring that we are living our values, and setting clear DEI goals and objectives is critical to the success and authenticity of our business. Yardstick has been an incredible partner for us. We continue to use the tools we’ve collaborated to build, embedding DEI best practices into the very fiber of our daily operations.

Our partnership with Yardstick Management has been a game-changer for DaVita. They worked diligently to bring unique and actionable insights to allow us to unlock our full potential in recruiting diverse talent at every level. The entire team is dedicated to taking a comprehensive approach to understand the core issues with an eye towards developing practical and sustainable strategies that can be executed seamlessly. We feel fortunate to have added Yardstick as a strategic partner in our pursuit to achieve our long-term Diversity and Belonging goals.

Our partnership with Yardstick Management has been both fruitful and effective. The technical skills of the team are best in class and the dynamics of the partnership allow for the transparency and honesty needed to drive meaningful change. I am grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with Yardstick Management’s seasoned team of experts.

Venture For America engaged Yardstick Management to audit our diversity, equity, and inclusion practices, and we are so glad that we chose Ebbie and his team to partner with. They took the time to really get to know our organization, dug deep, and asked tough questions. Yardstick went beyond metrics to really explore the qualitative experiences of marginalized groups who interact with our organization and shine a light on how we can better include them. At the end of the process, we were able to take Yardstick’s recommendations and insights to our stakeholders, enabling us to partner with them to lay out a comprehensive, formal plan to improve our practices. This has been a critical step in our DEI journey, and Yardstick has been a joy to work with throughout.
