2021 Equity, Diversity & Inclusion Update

Our three employee network groups (ENGs), Women@TT, Mosaic (focused on multicultural issues) and Spectrum (LGBTQIA+), support our equity, diversity and inclusion (ED&I) goals. As the ENGs mature and grow, they develop more programs to engage and educate us all. (See our Annual Review for a timeline of activities).

Our efforts are paying off, not only by creating a welcoming, lifestyle-friendly workplace, but also by earning industry recognition: Thornton Tomasetti was among nine companies that received the American Council of Engineering Companies of New York’s 2022 Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging award in its inaugural year.

In 2021, to fortify our commitment to equity and diversity, we began voluntarily participating in the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index, a national benchmarking tool that rates and reports on corporate policies, practices and benefits related to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer workplace inclusion. We’re off to a good start: in our first year of participation, we received a 90 percent rating. And using this year’s score sheet as a road map, we’ll continue working toward a perfect score – and recognition as one of the HRC’s “Best Places to Work for LGBTQ Equality” – in 2023.
