“I brought Deb in to help me develop a handbook for our newly launched Employee Resource Group (ERG) to use to enhance their effectiveness, compliance with business standards/practices, and alignment to corporate strategy.  The resulting ERG guide is a terrific time saver that will make things easier for our ERG leaders, our Human Relationship Business Partners, and the other business leaders the ERG’s interface with across our organization.  Due to Deb’s experience as a CDO, who has lead ERG’s, she understood what we needed including templates, tools and tips that are now a welcome addition to the resources we make available to our teams.”

“We engaged Deb to provide consulting support for our HR team inclusive of a variety of diversity and inclusion topics and events. Deb continues to be responsive to our needs, consistently offering helpful and practical tools and resources. One program that we are particularly proud of at Northrop Grumman, as an early adopter, is Deb’s disability ally ‘VOICE’ presentation. We videotaped Deb’s presentation, and it was webcasted across the enterprise to foster inclusion for people with disabilities, and enhance the likelihood that people with disabilities will self-identify and ask for accommodations if needed. I appreciated this innovative approach which draws on lessons learned from successful LGBT inclusion strategies.”

“Since 1993, [she] has been  instrumental in assisting  on our Global Diversity Council to gain tools and insights that have given them and their companies a strong advantage in an increasingly fast-paced and competitive business environment. Likewise, [her] work in the field of diversity and inclusion is and always has been pre-eminent and impactful.”

“Deb Dagit not only transformed Merck when it comes to diversity and inclusion—she transformed the field. She was as fierce an advocate for the diversity issues she had experienced personally as she was for the diversity and inclusion of others. Somehow she did so in such an affirming way that even as she was kicking butt, her audiences would thank her for it.”

“Deb’s depth of thinking about all the issues/challenges of our profession, blending with her high degree of tolerance for all people, and ability to meet them where they are, in their intellectual space is rare. Deb is our force, our special package of visionary, program executive, strategist and cultural diplomat.”
