Why Gardenswartz & Rowe?
Diversity is our passion.
Inclusion is critical to your business.
The FOUR LAYERS OF DIVERSITY model created by Gardenswartz and Rowe has influenced and broadened the conversation about diversity. It sets the tone for inclusion by reflecting each person’s reality in the organization.
