DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION

Rittenhouse LTD is not just committed to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) — for us it’s personal. That’s why we’ve expanded our services to include DEI training. We believe that DEI training is “miracle making work” that serves to increase business opportunities and benefit the community.

Our history is our legacy: we each bring to the diversity conversation our background of experiences—family, ethnic group, gender. That’s why we tailor our diversity training to meet your specific goals.

Our courses take diversity deeper — going beyond numbers — to create an inclusive environment that is culturally aware, perpetual and levels the playing field.

We can help you build a successful, sustainable DEI program that permeates throughout your organization.

  • “We worked with Rittenhouse Strategies to design and conduct educational sessions with our non-profit board and staff that were accessible, insightful, impactful, and directly relevant for our specific work and organization.

“Difference is of the essence of humanity. Difference is an accident of birth and it should therefore never be the source of hatred or conflict. The answer to difference is to respect it. Therein lies a most fundamental principle of peace: respect for diversity.”

-John Hume
