"Building and reaping the benefits of a diverse team requires a comprehensive and holistic talent solution. After an executive is placed in a new role, our structured 100 day integration is fundamental to the long-term success of the individual by accelerating a leader’s ability to effectively integrate into a new organizational culture. Modern hires the best talent and in partnership with Reserve Squad, supports the HR Team in providing the new leader a foundation for long-term success."

  • Exploration of approaches to navigate headwinds specific to the individual’s unique background and experiences
  • Coaching for legacy leadership teams to support fostering a more inclusive culture

    "The team has always shown a capability to dig deep in order to uncover world class diverse talent.
