Advancing a Diverse, Equitable, and Inclusive Culture
VHB has always been about people. Since our founding, we have intentionally fostered a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion—supported by deep-rooted core values, one of which is diversity. We are dedicated to providing employees with an environment where they feel welcome, respected, and valued, and everyone is provided opportunities to drive and develop their careers. In a diverse, equitable, and inclusive work environment, people with different identities and life experiences can show up authentically as their best selves and are valued equally.
VHB established a DEI Steering Committee to further support the firm’s strategic priority of advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion, both internally and externally—focusing on culture, community, clients, and the industry. VHB IDEAL (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity Alliance), an employee resource group, engages VHBers on shared concerns and interests and promotes awareness, inclusiveness, openness, and diversity across the company. We recognize that our efforts have no end date; we will always be iterating and improving as we continue on this journey.
EEO and Supplier Diversity
VHB is also firmly committed to the highest standards of business ethics and integrity, including ensuring equal opportunity employment, nondiscrimination, and full compliance with disadvantaged and diverse business opportunity programs. For more information about supplier diversity partnership opportunities, please email Elizabeth Bennett, DEI & Compliance Manager.
Creating More Equitable Communities
Our unwavering focus on DEI enables us to better anticipate and respond to the needs of our clients and communities. We understand that our approach to planning, engineering, and design has a tremendous impact on creating more equitable and inclusive communities.
