Diversity matters

Diversity and inclusion aren’t departments, efforts, or projects. They’re how we live, what we respect, and a fundamental aspect of our success.

Our global affinity groups support our people, providing a welcoming environment where mentorship and community create a sense of belonging and growth. These networks include McKinsey Black Network, Veterans@McKinsey, Access McKinsey, McKinsey’s Hispanic and Latino Network, Asians at McKinsey, and our LGBTQ+ network, GLAM.

Here we recognize that your future matters just as much as your day-to-day. So we enable our colleagues to go as far as they want to, from optimized professional development to regular progress reviews.
