Diversity and inclusion mean a true belief that good ideas come from anywhere, and diversity of thought creates a powerful outcome. At R3, we all are encouraged to contribute our thinking, enriching the work we do to advance our clients’ aspirations.

Connie Pincus, Senior Consultant, North America

I believe at the core it’s vital to foster and celebrate diversity of individuals and diversity of thinking. Being a global citizen — like our clients and their consumers — means accepting everyone for being their authentic selves no matter who they are inside and out, what they believe, or who they love.

Craig Stein, Senior Consultant, North America

Diversity, equity and inclusion means equal opportunity for all, irrespective of age, gender, race, religion. As a working mother, R3 has been very supportive and has given me the opportunity to maintain a healthy work-life balance.

Seema Punwani, Partner, APAC

DEI necessitates open-mindedness; if carried out correctly, it can rebalance the status quo to affect an equitable and powerful result across genders, age, experience, race, disability and sexual orientation. At R3, we are encouraged to view every employee as equal; to listen, to encourage speaking up and to assist in people development at every opportunity – this in turn aids a liberation of thinking and a democratization of ideas.

Martha Evans, Growth & Senior Consultant, EMEA

DEI to me means being open and embracing all possibilities, without limiting ourselves in certain categories or boxes. R3 stands with every employee and supports their individual talents. Our goal is not only to grow the business but also to help our team grow personally and professionally.

Teriea Lu, Consultant, China

Bringing DE&I into our work, through incorporating specific metrics and requirements in our pitches.
