A diverse and inclusive culture creates a better workplace for our people and better solutions for our clients.
Our commitment to people is one of our founding values, a cultural tenet that informs our decisions and our growth — as a firm and as individuals. An inclusive culture is good for people. A diverse workforce is good for business. Together, it enables us to deliver more creative and durable outcomes with individuals who feel heard, supported, and safe to show up and contribute as their authentic selves. Valuing and giving a voice to diverse perspectives is what brings us together and builds a thriving culture.
From increased innovation to improved decision-making to better financial performance, research has shown time and time again that a diverse workforce generates better outcomes for all.
Expanding diversity within Propeller is one of our primary goals. We are focusing on increasing the representation of Black, Indigenous, and people of color across our leadership, consultant teams, and applicant pool.
To build on this goal, we are improving the diversity of our candidate pool, ensuring we have an Anti-Bias, Anti-Racist interview process, and are standardizing and improving our performance management and promotion practices through inclusive leadership training and assessment and the launch of a leadership development program.

We believe that strengthening diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging at Propeller is our responsibility to our employees, clients, and community.
We are committed to fostering a culture where employees can be their authentic selves and do their best work. Equity and inclusion practices are never done, it is a continual work in progress. Here are some of the actions we are taking to build momentum.
We are working to embed diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging into the organization. This includes our values, ways of working, and how we measure success. It is not just a human resources priority — it is a shared commitment and organizational imperative that we are collectively responsible for. From active leadership involvement to a dedicated committee of compensated internal volunteers to an external assessment process, we are setting the foundational strategic direction, prioritizing actions, and holding ourselves accountable — together.
Our people are the foundation of our culture. To welcome diverse talent, we are continuously diversifying our candidate pipeline, ensuring an equitable experience through an Anti-Bias, Anti-Racist evaluation process, and upholding an inclusive interview process and strong employee retention.
To build a sense of belonging, we’re demonstrating care through inclusive benefits like family-building benefits, paid parental leave, flexible PTO, wellness benefits, and personal learning & development budgets. To further belonging we have established feedback channels, offer firm-wide training and workshops, and have developed employee communities.
To create an environment that is not only welcoming but equitable, we are working to make sure all employees have the same experience. This includes providing inclusive performance management training, establishing pay bands for fair compensation, and offering equitable and transparent leadership paths and development opportunities. Equity isn’t just about within Propeller — we use our consulting services to support community groups led by and serving minoritized communities and use our position to promote equity externally.
