It’s time to beat bias
& open the door to talent.
You’ve read the data. Organizations thrive and prosper when their leadership teams and board are more diverse.
With facts this clear, why is it so tough to break down the homogeneity in leadership ranks?
Bias.
And unfortunately, it’s only human. Even with the best intentions, we tend to hire “people like us.” It’s implicit bias—unconscious, universal and nearly impossible to overcome in traditional recruiting.
It’s time for a new way to find, select and hire your organization’s top executives, senior managers and board members. It’s time for Focus & Find®—the bias-beating recruiting approach that delivers the best leaders for your future.

How To Start Treating Human Resources As The Engine Of Profit

Who we serve
Federal departments and agencies
The Executive Order on Diversity, E.O. 13985, signed by President Biden in June 2021, has raised the DEIA bar for hundreds of federal departments and agencies. As you work to help all employees gain skills, optimize their performance and advance, Focus & Find can help with customized DEIA365 programs and versatile, personalized training and development.
Federal contractors
Executive Order 13985 may not carry explicit DEIA mandates for private organizations, but its impact is already being felt in the federal contracting space. For current and prospective contractors, now is the time to make sure your leadership ranks, hiring and promotion approaches, and training and development efforts reflect the priorities for fairness the E.O. requires. We can help.
Property and casualty insurers
The U.S. House Committee on Financial Services has expanded its focus on DEIA accountability to include America’s largest insurers. And the scrutiny is just beginning. Focus & Find can help your organization get ahead of new requirements with bias-free recruiting and employee development that broadens your diversity and improves your performance.
