Gender Equity & Retention Services
The Thoughtful Co. is about doing things really well, the first time. We are a consultancy focused on advancing equity for women in the workplace. We do things thoughtfully and thoroughly, from the outset, every time.
We advise companies on retention, policy and governance, informed by research. We help employers implement practices that retain and engage women over the long-term, and set up governance structures to support these practices. Our goal is to create structures that allow women to thrive over their full career.
Note: "women" includes anyone who identifies as a woman.
“TTC has the ability to absorb a large amount of information in a short period of time. They quickly became one of the team. Their work was delivered on time, and was clear and well thought out. They provided practical and actionable recommendations. I would absolutely recommend working with them.”
- Chief People Officer, 1Password
“It is rare in my career that my expectations have been exceeded by a consultancy, but TTC has certainly delivered to this standard. We left our time together more informed and ready to face the gender equity opportunity in front of us. We are excited to implement the recommendations and are confident that they will serve us for many years to come."
- Board of Director, Syncra Construction
"Working with TTC was effortless. They were incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to not only understand the problem we were trying to solve but also understand the cultural nuances in which it was situated."
