BHA's Commitment to Inclusion
Michael Barrington-Hibbert
Founder & CEO of Barrington Hibbert Associates | Co-Founder of 10,000 Blackinterns
I, alongside all of my colleagues at Barrington-Hibbert Associates, share in the dismay, sadness, and raw emotion having witnessed the shocking events and footage surrounding George Floyd's death and other race related incidences in the US. These are stories we've all seen far too often; it is one in a series of events that trouble the conscience, cry out for justice and now demand a series of conversations about what happens next.
Whilst we reflect on the sad and distressing events, we are also uplifted by the collective outpouring we've seen in cities around the globe. In this we see hope that we can do better, and that we can bend the arc of the moral covenant towards the justice Doctor Martin Luther King and so many others still believe in, and strive for everyday.
Barrington Hibbert Associates is founded on the vision of helping clients create workplaces where talent is recruited and evaluated on their merits and not disadvantaged by the colour of their skin or any other personal characteristics.
As a Black owned business, we understand that far too often, implicit bias prevents that aspiration with, and the communities we serve.
In light of recent events, we renew our commitment to the candidates we confidently represent, the clients we are proud to have established trusted partnerships, and the communities we serve.
The Barrington Hibbert Associates team appreciate your dedication to diversity, and that you have chosen us to aide you in that goal. You have our commitment that we will do everything we can to fulfil it.
