Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I)
Our DE&I vision is clear: 

 
DE&I Guiding Principles
In FY24, we made significant strides in diversity, equity, and inclusion through internal initiatives, employee development, talent acquisition, and engagement. Remarkably, our gender pay gap was less than 1%, with a 99% pay equity ratio for women compared to men among full-time nonexecutive employees. We also set goals to achieve gender and racial parity in leadership and non-leadership roles by FY26. In FY23, we reached gender parity in leadership roles, maintaining 28% representation in FY24, and improved leadership representation for people of color by 2%, reaching 25%.
 
We hold ourselves accountable by linking progress on these goals to leadership performance evaluations, impacting bonus compensation. To foster diverse leadership, we promote diverse candidate slates, eliminate bias in recruitment processes, and offer leadership development programs like the AcceleratHER Women’s Leadership Academy and others aimed at underrepresented groups.
 
Additionally, we continue to improve workplace practices to remove barriers, enhance inclusion, and ensure equitable opportunities for all employees. This includes DE&I training for recruiters and managers, diversifying talent sourcing tools, and partnerships with organizations like historically Black colleges and universities, DisabilityIN, and Women in Tech. As a result, women represent 32% and people of color 57% of our job candidates.
 
Commitment to Small and Diverse Businesses
We believe small and diverse businesses are vital to a dynamic contractor ecosystem and essential to meeting our government customers' needs. Our company actively supports these businesses by offering mentoring, contracting opportunities, and expanding partnerships with diverse suppliers.
