L.E.K. is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace in which men and women of all ages, races, ethnicities, religions and sexual orientation are respected and valued. Our global workforce is diverse, representing a range of professional and personal backgrounds and over 30 nationalities. We strive to make L.E.K. a company in which all individuals have an opportunity to excel regardless of their background, ethnicity, gender or sexual orientation.
As part of our commitment, we actively engage in diversity recruitment through partnerships with a variety of organizations and events. For example, we are a corporate partner with The Consortium, and attend events with MBA Jumpstart, Reaching Out and sponsor multiple activities through campus clubs and organizations. We continually look to expand our participation and outreach to further enhance our diversity efforts.
In addition, L.E.K. has established The L.E.K. Women's Network, an internal organization created to develop and retain female employees and enable them to become future leaders at L.E.K. and beyond. Through this network, all female staff have the opportunity to connect to other women in the L.E.K. community through both formal and informal activities, including our Women's Network mentoring program.
In the U.S., L.E.K. has recently become one of a small number of consulting organizations to expand the value of our benefits for same-sex domestic partners by now covering the additional tax paid to the IRS by employees with same-sex domestic partner health insurance coverage. Our organization is providing this benefit to ensure those staff with same-sex domestic partners are provided with the same equal benefits as our married employees who cover their opposite-sex spouses under the firm’s health plans.
L.E.K. recognizes that outstanding, talented people come from all walks of life, providing different perspectives and solutions to complex problems. Diversity contributes to a stronger and more dynamic team environment. The diversity among our employees makes L.E.K. a better place to work and allows us to meet the needs of our clients at the highest quality.
