Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging

Advancing a Diverse, Equitable, and Inclusive Culture

Diversity is a Core Value at VHB, and we are dedicated to fostering a culture of belonging where everyone feels welcome, respected, valued, and has equitable opportunities to develop and drive their careers. People from all backgrounds and life experiences are encouraged to show up authentically as their whole selves and are valued equally. We recognize that our efforts have no end date; we will always be iterating and improving.

VHB’s DEI Steering Committee supports the firm’s strategic priority of advancing diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging, both internally and externally—focusing on culture, talent acquisition, clients, and the industry. Our employee resource group VHB IDEAL (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity Alliance) engages employees on shared concerns and interests and promotes awareness, inclusiveness, openness, and diversity across the company.
