Marcia helps FSG to attract, hire, onboard, and retain a diverse and thriving team. She focuses her work on examining and addressing inequities deeply embedded within our society that often limit access and opportunities for individuals from marginalized groups. In partnership with the chief administrative officer and Leadership Team, she sets the firm-wide recruiting strategy to meet the needs of teams across the firm. Over the last several years, Marcia has partnered with others around the firm to bring equity and inclusion principles into our recruiting process via unconscious bias training, equity primes, and diversifying our sourcing strategies. She leads the firm’s onboarding efforts to ensure new hires have the tools, supports, and training they need to do their best work. And, she supports the development and execution of a compensation approach that helps retain top talent while balancing business needs with a focus on pay equity.
