Navigant takes great pride in its commitment to diversity and inclusion. Our ability to champion an open exchange of ideas and to celebrate each other’s differences not only provides a comfortable and safe space to gather, grow, and network, but also enables us to create state of the art solutions for our clients.
Navigant Chairman and CEO
I don’t celebrate Pride for my present-day self. I celebrate it to show my fearful, closeted high school self that I am just as worthy and capable of living a fulfilled life as anyone else is. I celebrate it to join with millions of others and demonstrate to the youth out there currently in a shell what it really means to embrace individuality, and I am beyond fortunate to be part of a company that so actively has supported the LGBTQ community - both in and out of the office.

I’m happy to work at a firm that truly values diversity, and I have never felt more accepted than I do at Navigant. As a leader of NAVPride, I truly hope that the visibility that I show helps make other people throughout the firm feel more open and included.
NAVPride Co-Chair | Director | Healthcare
In a time of increased polarization, division, and leadership that prioritizes personal and special interests over equality and inclusivity, I am grateful to be a part of a team at Navigant that challenges itself to celebrate our differences, to acknowledge – during pride month – that our greatest strength is our diversity, and to include its diverse workforce in the common goal of achieving solutions for our clients and the world we share.
NAVPride Co-Chair | Associate Director | Energy
Shannon Dorato
Managing Director | Healthcare
At Navigant, I don’t have to spend energy worrying about what people are going to think about me personally. I can focus on getting results for clients, not on politics. And, as a member of the Human Rights Campaign for many years, what a joy and honor it is to be with a company who has achieved 10 consecutive years on the HRC Corporate Equality Index.

Guidehouse proudly supports the Business Coalition for the Equality Act and passage of the Equality Act. The Equality Act establishes explicit, permanent protections against discrimination based on an individual’s sexual orientation or gender identity in matters of employment, housing, access to public places, federal funding, credit, education, and jury service. In addition, it would prohibit discrimination based on sex in federal funding and access to public places. The Equality Act is designed to protect the LGBT community in many of the same ways that the Civil Rights Act protects racial minorities. Learn more about the Business Coalition for the Equality Act.
Business Coalition for the Equality Act
The NAVPRIDE Employee Resource Group (ERG) is an internal global employee network formed around the support of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) communities. The ERG’s progressive approach to LGBT issues is widely recognized. Guidehouse is among Human Rights Campaign’s Best Places to Work for LGBT Equality, and we have earned a 100 percent rating for ten consecutive years on HRC’s Corporate Equality Index.
Nearly 200 state and local governments have proposed legislative initiatives that negatively impact the rights of the LGBT community. These initiatives tear at the fabric of a forward-thinking, just, and open society. They are bad for business and bad for the communities where we live and work. Guidehouse opposes any legislation that allows discrimination against gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender individuals. Guidehouse believes that every person deserves equal rights regardless of age, religion, race, sex, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, nationality, or disability. Guidehouse stands against legislation that marginalizes our clients, colleagues, families, and friends.
Anti-LGBT Legistlation

Guidehouse’s Women Employee Resource Group (ERG) provides an inclusive, multi-dimensional environment to support the connection and development of female employees. Members of Guidehouse’s Women ERG gather regularly both in-person and virtually to discuss industry hot topics, personal and professional development opportunities and to network internally and externally. In several offices, members participate in informative “power breaks” to connect, build relationships and further their professional development. Members also collaborate regularly with external organizations such as the Women’s Leadership & Mentoring Alliance (of which Navigant Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, Julie Howard, is a founding member), and host our own annual Women in Leadership Business Forum.

All activities are designed to meet the needs and objectives identified by the Young Professionals:
Companywide programming includes initiatives focused on building connections, networking and career development. Activities are often virtual / web-based. Office-based programs include in-person panel discussions, networking events, community service drives and team building activities.

As a Firm, we value the skills and experience that veteran and military professionals bring to the workforce. Guidehouse is dedicated to providing a community where Veterans can grow their careers, share their experiences and become thought leaders.
Throughout the year, the ERG honors our veteran and military professionals on key days of observance. Memorial Day and Veterans Day allow ERG members and all employees to honor, recognize and give thanks for the sacrifices made by veterans. Example initiatives have included employees making paracord bracelets and writing letters of gratitude which were included in care packages sent to troops deployed overseas. Yellow Ribbon Cake ceremonies have been held in various offices across the Company on 11/11 at 11:11am to commemorate the WW1 armistice between the Allied nations and Germany.
