Well said, Liz. The bottom line: ACCOUNTABILITY. When we hold ourselves, our colleagues, our leaders accountable to their commitments, we see progress. Without accountability, we get more of the same. The same people who look the same, talk the same, find the same solutions. We need better and we can do better. #DEI #leadershipmatter Feroce Real Estate Advisors #leveragechangebuildvalue

Altfest Personal Wealth Management has been named to Crain’s New York Business’ 2024 #BestPlacestoWorkinNYC. On hand to accept the award on behalf of Altfest were Ramsey Young, Kylie Davis, SHRM-SCP, SHRM-CP, Courtney McKenna, and Miriam F. Torres. This is the third year in a row, and the fourth time in the last five years, that Altfest has made the list. Leadership at the firm has embraced a hybrid office policy and leveraged technology to ensure employees have the tools they need to perform their best work and continue providing the award-winning experience that clients have come to expect. The Altfest name has always been synonymous with innovation. As pioneers in the #fiduciary advisor industry, Altfest Leadership knows that the best way may not be the "norm".    https://lnkd.in/eJsvYqV4 Crain's New York Business' Best Places To Work ranking was developed with the independent research firm Best Companies Group. 80% of the scoring is from a survey on workplace experience and culture, answered by 20,000+ NYC employees. Employer benefits, policies, & human resources practices account for the remaining score. There is no fee to participate.

As we take actions to advance our #DEI journey at #USSteel, we are particularly encouraged by validation of our progress from external benchmarks like the Vibrant Index DEI Diagnostic tool. Having scored greater than 95% across each of the nine assessment areas evaluated, reaffirms the success of our current efforts and initiatives and gives us confidence that the goals we have set for ourselves align with the larger goals of the region, and even the country, to attract, retain, and grow a diverse workforce ready to tackle the challenges of the future. #VibrantPittsburgh https://lnkd.in/ewxzmjCe

At #USSteel, #DEI is not a corporate buzzword; it is an essential aspect of our belief that people perform, achieve, and feel their best when they are accepted and counted on exactly as they are. That is why we create workplaces that work for all employees; it is also why our second recognition as a Vibrant Index Champion is a distinction that means so much to our organization and to the active and engaged members of the ERG I sponsor: LEAD, leveraging and enhancing all #diversity. #VibrantPittsburgh https://lnkd.in/g3DRThJM

The Care Leaver Covenant held our seventh Business Council meeting this week. The Council is made up of senior leaders from the private and public sector incl. Amazon , Mace , NHS and many others. Todd Lockley gave a brilliant presentation about an inclusive employment programme Marston's PLC have masterminded for this coming year. We always have at least one young person present at our Council meetings so that there can be knowledge exchanged between aspirational young care leavers and senior business leaders. Sebastian-Nico Scott, who attended this week, finished his presentation by asking our Council members whether they wanted to be part of improving the world or part of making it worse... With new EDI/DEI/social impact/social value rankings springing up all the time, as well as changing legislation, changing culture, debates about DEI Vs. ROI, is there a more fundamental question than this for the biggest employers in our country? #diversityandinclusion #socialimpact #responsiblebusiness

We are looking forward to Construction Inclusion Week! While we work hard to be inclusive all the time, this is an excellent reminder that being intentional is crucial to making an impact. I challenge everyone to make efforts in your workplace to create an intentionally inclusive environment. When you are building your teams, ask yourself if you have created a team that includes people from different backgrounds, different cultures, genders and points of view. Studies have shown that diverse teams are the most productive, the most profitable and the most resilient. #constructioninclusionweek #Inclusion #construction

It’s my 4 year anniversary with Baker Hill this month! 4 years at a company I am so proud to be a part of—that has been named one of The Indianapolis Star’s #2024TopWorkplaces! When I joined in May of 2020, I hadn’t been actively looking. In fact, I almost didn’t answer the recruiter’s call. The day of my first phone interview, there was a wind sheer that knocked down all of the power lines on my street, so I almost rescheduled, but something told me to find a way to make it work. So… I drove to the Culver’s parking lot and apologized for not being on camera and also being a bit frazzled. It was May of 2020 after all. I was a full-time career woman balancing the needs of a 4th grader struggling to use a computer mouse and learning to log into zoom for e-learning/dance lessons/drumming, a 4 year old missing her preschool routine and friends to play with, an IT-professional-husband working to help his large company pivot all systems, programs, and people to a remote environment, my beloved employees who all had various stressors and obligations needing a caring ear and patience, my newly appointed role as head chef for all family meals (breakfast-lunch-dinner)—and now I had no power (for 3 days), no groceries, and a phone interview for with a fintech, when I had only ever worked for large manufacturers. From the very first conversation, despite being “an outsider” in the space, despite the crazy times we were living in, despite the fear of disappointing my current employer and my wonderful team—something about Baker Hill felt like the right fit. The people felt like the right fit. It’s hard to describe the Baker Hill culture. It can be intense—but also rewarding. We run lean—but we are incredibly efficient and agile. Sometimes my role can feel overwhelming and like I am the only person in my boat—but if I reach out, there is always someone offering to help and a better idea. No company or culture is perfect, but Baker Hill’s DNA is pretty special. Karen Baker and Mark Hill built a solid foundation that has stood the test of time. They invested in good people—good people who wanted to help clients succeed and wanted their peers to succeed too. There are some wickedly talented and smart individuals at Baker Hill. Sometimes I am intimidated. How will I ever fully understand our industry? Our products? Where we need to go? How to get there? How to be an effective leader? How to make change? But if Baker Hill has taught me one thing—it’s this. Change is constant. Improvement is continuous. It’s about evolution—and progress. As my amazing mentor and leader Todd Juracek says WAY TOO OFTEN… “Every day counts.” So, let’s go “up and to the right.” (Per Amber) Congrats Baker Hill! “We the people” did this…. And, we’re just getting started. #2024TopWorkplaces #companyculture #bakerhill #40yearsofevolvinglending
